Why does my steering wheel pop down when I tilt it?
I’ve had this problem for a while now, and just lived with it, but I’d like to fix it right. When I tilt the steering wheel all the way up, it won’t stay there. It pops down a notch, and then when I put even a little pressure on the wheel, it pops down to the 3rd notch. It’ll stay there reliably, but it blocks my view of the gauges.
What do I do when my engine is in Full Tilt?
Engine in full tilt position. Remove reservoir fill plug screw. Insert a air nozzle up against the reservoir fill hole with rags (or something) packed around it to obtain a tight fit. Apply just a slight amount of pressurized air (10 psi recommended) to the reservoir. This will force the oil under the oil pump to remove the air lock.
