Tohatsu M50D
The Oil Level Sensor does not stay stuck in the top of the oil tank, and oil will spill out when trailering etc. What I see is just a rubber-type cap/plug with the wires coming out the side of the cap-part and nothing to hold it into the top of the tank, except maybe some 'barbs' in the plug-part. It looks like the barbs might hold it in if the diameter of the plug was larger, but it all fits very loosely. It looks just like what is pictured in a parts catalog, so I am at a loss as to why it doesn't stay in (or why it even should).
So...
Is there a part missing?
Has anyone seen this before?
Is there any 'fix', or do I need to buy a whole new sensor?
Thanks to all for your help/input!
