Hello,
I purchased a MTD 990 brush cutter, 4 strokes, serial 41AD990C678 images.agroterra. co.uk/1823_I_aki41.jpg. I noticed that even without using it, the brush cutter will leak oil through a black tube that connects the motor body to the plastic air filter holder, picture here img826.imageshack. us/img826/1889/dsc01267k.jpg
I disassembled the air filter plastic holder, cleaned completely the pieces with detergent as per the fabricant's instructions. Oiled the air filter. Left it standing without trying to turn it on. No way. After some time the whole equipment is covered with oil that leaks from the black tube, it is a mess. I found the spare part list and exploded vision for the MTD 990 but could not find the code or name of this black tube or if this oil leak is normal or not (the air filter must be oiled, but actually it is being "submerged" in the oil that leaks from the black tube).
Any trick, advice is welcome on how to solve this oil leak issue
