Sp-22

[PATheron]

Do any of you guys know exactly how much oil an SP-22 is supposed to hold? Having trouble seeing it in the sight gage. Theron

Theron,

I was putting in just about 2.5 quarts

my sp-11 takes just short of 2 quarts...

[PATheron]

Thanks guys- I ended up putting about 2 and a third gallons so that sounds something near right. The sight tube had a film on the inside that I couldnt see through. Theron

[Maplewalnut]

Sounds right about what I do-

Anyone ever change that site tube out? Mine could use a changing also. What kind of tubing is it?

Do the SP 22 vacuum pumps work well? I found one for sale that I am considering buying, what are they worth? Anything to watch for?

[ennismaple]

They're almost bullet proof and use very little oil. I've never seen one where you could actually see through the sight tube! A faint shadow for the oil level is about all you get.

Put a piece of clear plastic tubing from the hardware store on my SP-11. Have run it a couple years now and it is still crystal clear and easy to see the oil level.

Yep, did the same. Works good.
