Yes indeed, I know where the drainplug is. Now, by drainplugs, do you mean anything that's removable, and allows either oil or gasoline to drain? I guess I need to do some more major overhaulin' to find the 5 Verslagen has...

I'm going with anything that can be removed to drain a fluid, but only one per volume.  Such as oil has a drain plug, but you could remove numerous bolts and or covers to drain it, tipping as noted before.

And you could pull the carb bowl drain to drain the bowl and tank, it'd just take forever with that little cup that fits under there.

One thing for certain, no shortage of qualifiers here Grin

Hey, know how to tell if you got the correct oil drain plug ?
When you turn and turn and turn and turn, and you got at least an inch of fine thread showing, thats the one, just keep turning, it'll fall out sooner or later !!
I'd bet no one has ever stripped threads on a savage-40 drainplug ! Shocked

Yeah, that's the oil drain bolt, the one you have to turn nearly 50 times when it is so blinkin' hot it burns your fingers even more as you do each turn .... after turn .... after turn

I use a piece of string wrapped around it. Then I tug gently on one end & spin it out with the string

I tried that, came out so quick it fell in the oil.
I'm sticking to the slow way.

He only trusts the red magic for a 5 second run -- not very much faith is being shown here, them red magic pixies will not approve full magical protection unless your faith is pure and large.

Remember bill67 thinks the best oil is the one which protects the longest after it has been drained.
