This is what is listed in the shop manual for the Super 1130G. I hope this helps.

Yeah I got that manual too and that is not correct, for a 1130 or 3100 anyway. If you followed that direction the whole gear case would be full to the top. There is a metal screw/plug right in front of the clutch bulge on that gear cover. That is what you remove when filling from the top and you stop when it starts coming out of that hole in the side.

Yes Modifiedmark you are right, I read this again in a homelite forum (the way you described it).
I measured it and it's about 150 milliliters...
That´s a beautifull example of a 1130g !

Thanks for catching that for us Mark, that wouldn't have worked out to well. I also have a Super 1130G but I havn't used it in at least 15 years, I think I figured that out back when I was using it with a 36" for cutting up some big oaks for firewood.
