Hmmm, maybe some nut in Michigan?

With the deferrence to the type of blower he is running I think you mean

"Two screws loose Olson" a much better name.

Also Randy.....I'll offer RGRANDVOLD an oil analysis kit out of the store at cost......so that he can get his oil checked and it and the filter should have been changed yesterday. Don't send me to the abyss.

Sorry all for delayed response... Day job got in the way.. Well so far so good. I'm hoping that I lucked out and that all I did was cause a little top end noise. As far as engine sounds - all is normal (same as before oil loss incident) - couple hundred miles following. Of course, these's no way of knowing what, if any damage was caused. Ken - I'm not familiar with oil analysis kits. What's involved? How much does it cost? I'd be interested in exploring. Knowledge is always power..

Thanks all for chiming in - even if it's a little scary....

- Ray
