AnswerHello Jerry:
>>You can View a Breakdown of the Engine at this Site Addy; http://www.kohlerplus.com/login.asp (IE5 or Higher Required) and Select Enter as Guest. Now Select the Thumbnail of the Engine Catalog you Wish to View. Select the Magnum M/MV8-20 Thumbnail. Now Download the "Service Manual" TP-2203-A Date 5/04.
>>The Instructions for Removing the Electric Starter Start on Page 90 of 152.
>>The Oil Fill Tube should have a Bracket that is Bolted to the Blower Housing and Once this Bolt/Screw is Removed from the Oil Fill Tube, the Tube is Pulled from the Engine.
>>There is Usually an O-ring on the Tube that Seals in the Engine Block.
