Ever changed the oil on a Honda CG125? Tea strainers!?

[N Dentressangle]

Changed the oil on my speed machine today.

Drain plug came out and the spring and tea strainer excuse for an oil filter popped out with it. I wasn't sure how the spring and tea strainer went back in so fitted like this:

\ \ \ \ \ \ ]
\ \ \ {___ ]
\ \ \ \ \ \ ]

The spring is the slash marks, the thimble shaped tea strainer is fitted with the open end towards the drain plug (drain plug = ] )and at the drain plug end, sitting inside the spring.

Sorry for the shit diagram - is this the right way round for everything?

Cheers!

It would seem the logical way to install it..

Apology for sh1t diagram almost accepted!

Thanks Dern, but I've got no idea about newsgroups, and a quick google of the one you suggested hasn't helped...

You're welcome to post it for a laugh and tell us how much abuse it attracts. I have no shame.
