Marko, the biggest PITA in getting the fluid in is that you have a 1/2" vertical hole to put it through while air also has to escape at the same time. I think the first time I ever did it seemed like hours because you are waiting for the bubble of air to escape. In addition to the methods mentioned above here are a few other things you can do. In the first set of pics the funnel and pipe elbow are for obvious reasons, but the thin plastic tube is for air escape and will speed the flow of fluid up greatly. In the second set of pics you can drill a hole in the rear cover plate near the top, thread it and insert a plug. When you are filling the unit, remove the plug to let air escape. You won't need the thin tube. Hope this helps you.

That will be helpful, I like the elbow idea and tube idea, I have had issues with this before. I had a harbor freight predictor engine (420cc) that had the same issue.

I've been using a little pump available for a few bucks at WalMart, stick one hose in the jug, the other in the fill hole and pump away.

Well after the long wait, I decided after 5 days to go and get the silicone because I couldn't go any longer without the 127. 16" of snow and I hate shoveling. Got it together and it got the job done. Mainly used it to get out the trailer so I could go get another cub cadet :biggrin2:

Good days work for the cub.

Found this gem at good old tractor supply, I'll test it out at some point and let you know how it works. Still may have some issues with the air wanting to escape but for a few bucks I'll give it a shot. Can't be any worse than using the plastic straight one.
