How much do you put in the crankcase? My sight glass I can’t really see much in it? Also on the top near the Fill bolt is that the overflow? That hole. Because I have  some oil coming out of that hole. Like maybe I’m over filling it. Thanks.

If you use a small mirror while you fill it most of the time you can see when it gets the correct amount of oil.  I found that out the hard way.
