Finding this screw to be very hard to remove! I will need to try some new tactics tomorrow, perhaps a slot bit in a ratchet for leverage.

Removing screw from port to install pressure switch

Can somebody tell me what will happen when I remove the screw out of the oil pressure port to install an oil pressure switch? Will oil come out? Do I need to drain the oil first?

Thank you

I'm assuming the...

As a follow-up, I cleaned up the carburetor, reinstalled it and everything is running much better now. I also installed the fuel gauge and polish filter as recommended earlier in this thread.

I took off the flame arrestor and the carburetor to take a look inside. I thought maybe there would be some gunk build up but it actually looks pretty clean.
