Does anyone have a picture of how they have set-up the oil change kit?

Thanks.

This is not the finished install. I lengthened the hose (5/16" A1 fuel hose) to reach the front of the engine and of course added hose clamps. To change oil, I have brass fittings that connect the pump hose to the installed hose. When finished, I cap off the fitting with a brass screw cap.

I have the exact same setup as RIGSPELT.
The hose runs under the carb to the front of the engine where it's capped until time for the change. Then unscrew the brass cap and screw on the hose fitting to the pump/oil jug.

Thanks for the replys. I completed the install. It works great. Although it still seems to leave about a quart of oil. Is this normal?

I have the system installed. I can remove 3 qts through the system or 3 qts through the dipstick, no difference.

Charles-
It will depend on the angle of your engine (per it's mounting).
I have a Ranger 30 and I have about a half quart left after "sucking" it with my pump/container. Basically, whatever you get out, put back in (or slightly less).
Your mileage may vary...:D
