REFLECTOR:Franklin oil Screen

[Donald Royer]

If your Franklin is like mine you don't have to get into the oil pan to
check and clean the oil screen. It is the large nut next to the oil drain
plug. Just unscew it and it comes out. I have been checking mine at every
oil change. I have an oil filter. The screen gets the big pieces and the
filter get the little pieces. I saw plenty of both when my prop governor
disintegrated.
