My observation as well. I fill them until you feel resistance when
the cap is about a half inch from the top of the carb.<br>

<div>you don't need that much oil in the HD8 pistons for this
to work correctly. HD8s throw all excess oil out the
vent... so if you are overfilling it will all go out anyway.</div>

</div>
<div>The main thing to check is to take the dampers out and
slide them back in with the shaft straight up, and if you
feel resistance toward the bottom.... you don't need to
refill. I suspect you are overthinking it. I used to think
HD8s use too much oil until I realised they don't need all
that much to work correctly.</div>

<div>Ok have spoken to Joe who was most helpful.<br>

<div>We did some measurements together over the phone and
established that my dampers are correct.</div>
<div>He says that he has encountered this before but not

<div>Suggests that I run the dashpots dry then start

<div>In meantime he will do more research.</div>
