tunahead72 2,423 #15 Posted May 7, 2011 :thumbs: I've been following your other thread about the oil leak, sorry to hear the outcome. You do know you have a PM there, right? Where in VA are you located? My C-105 lives in a barn in Bath County, and spends most of its life trying to convince mice NOT to nest in the blower housing or chew through fuel lines. Good luck with your machine, lots of good folks on this site! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
