I need the length of the dipstick from the top of the metal cap to the "FULL" mark on a 16hp single cylinder Briggs engine. The PO broke the dipstick, repaired it and never affixed the cap on the stick. As a result depending on where the cap is located, it is either overfilled by a quart or a gallon low or somewhere inbetween.

Code:

                              [U]Current Inventory[/U]
   24G (Onan 24hp)    24GLX - was 16G  (Onan 24hp)   8249 - was 8129 (Onan 24hp)
        818T (Onan 18hp B48)       8163T - was 8123 (Onan CCKA) 
                              8183T (Onan B48)
   5665 w/brakes        5665        5660        Pro-8         Pro-16 w/brakes

I checked mine - I get 12-7/8 when I measure from the full line to where the dipstick cap seats on the tube when you thread it in.

That's also somewhat flattening out the dipstick - so if you were to use a longer dipstick, you'd want 12-7/8 from the end of the tube to just touch the top of the oil.

Ah yes, then don't use mine!
