    Engine Oil Strainer

    Hello All, does anyone know what size mesh is in the engine oil strainer in a GS850G, my unit has a hole in it, someone slipped with a phillips head and put a hole in the mesh. Looked at purchasing a new strainer but discontinued. If I can source some replacement mesh I can fit it into the strainer. Thanks for your help

    You could sew it up with Brass wire.

      Have a look in Bunnings for flyscreen mesh. If it's too coarse, use two layers. It's only supposed to stop chunks big enough to damage the oil pump.
