Notice: When adding coolant, it is important that you use GM Goodwrench DEX-COOL?"¢ coolant. If coolant other than DEX-COOL?"¢ is added to the system, the engine coolant will require change sooner: at 50 000 km (30,000 miles) or 24 months.
Close the radiator drain cock.
If previously removed, install the engine block drain plugs.
When installing the drain plugs, use pipe sealer GM P/N 12346004.
Important: On vehicles equipped with the 3.4L engine, open the coolant air bleed valve. The coolant air bleed valve is located on the top of the thermostat bypass pipe/heater pipe assembly. Close the valve once a continuous stream of coolant is expelled from the valve.
Fill the surge tank to the base of the filler neck.
Start the engine with the pressure cap off. Run the engine until the upper radiator hose starts to get hot.
If the coolant level in the surge tank is low, add the proper mix of coolant until the level reaches the full cold line.
Important: After servicing the cooling system, and if the vehicle is equipped with an intermittent low coolant light, an occasional low coolant light may be encountered during some extreme driving maneuvers. This complaint should be eliminated by removing the surge tank cap and adding coolant to a level just at or above the full cold line when the system is cold.
Install the cap onto the tank with hand tight pressure.
Recycling Procedure
Important: Dispose of used coolant in a proper fashion, such as in a used coolant holding tank. Never pour used coolant down the drain. Ethylene glycol antifreeze is a very toxic chemical. Disposing of ethylene glycol antifreeze into the sewer system is both illegal and ecologically unsound.
There is currently no approved method for recycling used DEX-COOL?"¢ coolant into new DEX-COOL?"¢ coolant. DEX-COOL?"¢ coolant can be recycled into new conventional coolant. Consult local listings for coolant recycling facilities in your area.
There are 3 connections on the new tank. 1- feed/suction. 2- return. 3-breather. You should be able to look inside the tank and tell which is which. The 2 coming in the front botton is feed and return. The return should have a small tube sticking up inside the tank. The feed will not have a tube on it. The breather will be at the top of tank (if it is on the bottom it will also have a tube sticking up inside the tank.
If you are referring to tubes as the tube where the spark plugs are
installed then you probably have worn out gaskets at the base of the
tubes. If you pull the spark plug wire out and remove a spark plug,
you'll probably find the plug is soaked in oil. I suspect you'll have
to remove the valve cover to replace these gaskets/seals.
No, this would be the pressure switch. One pipe or small line to the tank, with power cord coming in and cord to motor. It is adjustable so try reducing tension on the spring first. If still no change replace pressure switch.
The 350 series saw did not have a tube and filter from the oil tank, the filter was a grey plastic insert in the base of the tank, held with a single cross head screw, it can be removed without removing the fuel tank, it can be seen on the sprocket side between the crankcase and fuel tank, the workshop manual is generic, and refers to the 345/351/353 which does have a pipe and filter.
Cold weather will freeze the water the compressor normally makes and this can prevent the motor from driving the compressor. Drain the tank and warm it up as needed......
On the older Sportsters there is a rubber pipe that is clamped onto the base of the battery box underneath. So when you unclamp the pipe the oil spews out. When replacing you just fill the oil tank and fill the primary case up to the marker screw near the bottom
