G'day folks,
GA Spares are wholesale only; however if you plug their part numbers into google, that will bring up retailers who stock these.
I can see why Tyler uses the GA Spares website to find aftermarket parts - it's really easy to navigate, and I often do the same.
Do you screw it back down before taking a reading on the oil level? While on the subject, do you do the same with a vertical pull Briggs?
In order, no and no.
Honda oil levels are checked by unscrewing the dipstick, wiping it, and reinserting it so that it just rests on top of its socket.
Briggs are checked with the dipstick screwed fully home in its socket.
It's just one of those historical things with individual manufacturers - I should add, that Honda's procedure here is consistent across all of their product lines, from small engines through motorcycles to cars.
Has been that way since the 1960s at least - that was the oldest [4-stroke] Honda I ever had. Never owned any of their 2-strokes.
