Hi gang. I did my first oil change on the 630 yesterday, and now I'm getting a little paranoid here. Here's the thing, the Q I have:
This regards the oil screen "tubes" on the left (shifter) side of the engine, and the orientation of one. One is larger and the other fits inside of it. This latter one- the "inside" screen tube- has the screen going all the way to one end of it, and on the other end it's first smooth/solid metal for about 10 mm before the screen starts. So from this end it's smooth, for 10 mm to a "rib", then screen all the way to the other end.
Mine came out leading (meaning against the mounting plate) with the end of it that has screen going almost to the very end of the tube (so the 10 mm smooth section was furthest into the engine.) I replaced it that way.
The Owners Manual shows (or suggests) that this is the correct orientation.
The Shop Manual shows it just the opposite- w/ the smooth/solid end facing out against the plate that is bolted on holding this stuff in.
What else is diff than the book: on my bike the plate holding it in is "stepped" and has two o-rings on it. I know the end that has screen going all the way to the end must mate to an o-ring, either on this plate/cap, or the o-ring all the way at the end of the cavity. The Shop Manual shows a diff set-up (smooth cap, and separate o-ring placement.) BTW- I did see an o-ring at the far end (far internal end) of the cavity, and that appears to have to stay there.
I'm worried because I did ride it for about 1.5 hours last night and now I am fearful I may be screwing it up. It ran just fine. My thought is that the "ribs" on this inner screen tube keep it, say, 2 mm inside of the outer tube (as in "away from" and therefore oil should circulate throughout the two of them fine. Still, I'm sure they made it this way w/ a purpose, but the orientation in Husky's two publications conflict.
Please advise- thanks!
