You can get the valve out from the outside, if you are careful you can re use it, i think it prudent to replace it ( 530026119, plug 503981301 ) the oil pump is buried deep inside the machine and requires a full strip down to get to it, you can fish the oil filter on the end of the pipe out through the oil filler hole, so worth a check , veg oil is dreadfull stuff and if left will block everything.

Great thank you. I will get new ones. Found on www.diyspareparts.com . i previously filled tank to clean it. Think i used ethanol but can't remember(old age). Pretty certain its the vent now, but to further the problem i had put new bar on thats holes didn't line up with oiler channel. Done very slight mod with angle grinder to make channel for oil. ?Thanks all for info.
