I admit it was cold yesterday but when I started the motor, it seemed to take a while to catch and I had trouble finding the right choke setting, when blam! I thought it was a backfire. When I pulled out of the garage I saw a puddle and thought "what the heck is that"? As it turns out it was the oil filter. It had blown off the block. I was using a Fram with a square profile ring. I thought the old filter was pooched so I installed a new one, tightened down onto the filter block ok, but an extra snug and it spun free. It seems that it was only catching on the last thread.
So I cut the sealing ring down to about half and it seems to be holding ok now.
Two questions, 1)what is the proper replacement filter for a 1725?
and 2) is the threaded pipe on the filter block threaded into the block or cast as part of it? I'll back it out a bit if I can.
