Where is the oil filler ?
Hi, new here and new to inboard motors. Just bought a Alberg 30 1975 with an A4. This should be a late model, as per the year. But I cannot find the filler cap for oil that I see on every pictures of this motor. Serial # 193001, model 5101.
Thank you |

I doubt it but may be you have an early model - is the fly wheel cover cast or sheet metal. If it is an early model the oil goes into a small 'flip cover" just to the rear and left of the distributor [use a small funnel]. Dipstick "cap" is to the right in a little well.

I just checked my 1991 Universal A4 parts list manual and the last page states "serial number 175503 [and higher] - "First engine with new style block- Front oil fill" Sounds like it should be where it is suppose to be?

opampca,
The oil fill will be above the flywheel. It is a 3" round plug with just some spring clips holding it in. I stole this pic from Moyer's home page. Welcome to the forum. Have you found the dipstick on the aft stbd side??

Definately looks like a 'mixed' motor - where is the S/N stamped? Photo? Looks like mostly late model stuff, but the oil fill should be 'right there'.
BTW, you'll want to get rid of that 'trailer' plug in your harness - that's just asking for trouble. Last edited by Al Schober; 10-20-2018 at 06:28 PM. |

Did somebody make 3rd party blocks with a different oil port?
