Drain Holes for Dummies
« on: May 08, 2005, 01:11:20 PM »

After my buddy's whining tranny Laughlin saga (separate post on this board), I decided to do-it-myself.  No more Syn3 in all 3 sumps for moi!  Redline HD synthetic in the tranny, Royal Purple Racing #41 in the crank, and Royal Purple Synth 10W40 in the primary from here on.

Using my SE road glide's owner's manual (my RK's temp. uh.. misplaced..), this computer guy was _challenged_ when it came to Miss Piggy's holes.  Not like you can click & drag the fluids out.. <sigh>. The manual was useless, so I may have approached her inappropriately with my wrench.  Then, I waited a day for her tranny sump to drain: through the primary drain hole.  LOL.  Shake, lift, <drink beer> tilt, wobble.. spill oil on garage floor..drop tool in dirty oil bucket.  Still no joy getting the tranny fluid level to drain. Figured the Redline synthetic defies gravity maybe?  

Long story short, I finally mastered all of Miss Piggy's drain hole locations & submit these two .jpgs for mass edification of your drain hole dummy friends!

p.s. the purple oils in a purple scoot are a helpful concept for this left coast HD rider.. that's how I know where they go!

Now this..

That was great!  How long did it take to drain the dead cat?

thx for the posting tip..

Well, I think it's a cat.  Let's hope so ;-)   Stuck up in there good near the clutch cover.  Sprayed 'it' with some Simple Green to soften it up a little.  Plus: no need to be steenkin' up the great outdoors!

Softened up dead cat...  That's almost as disgusting as Hubbard's used leather underwear listed in the "for sale" section.  I'm going after either one with a set of those spring loaded grabber tools  [smiley=7.gif]
