Just got it firing!
Does anybody know the torque value for the hexagonal tube fitting which screws into the cylinder head oil supply port . The lub oil supply braided hose to the head connects to this. I cant find the value in the manual.

This is what you do--- measure the diameter of the threads and apply appropriate torque. Steel into alu. 6mm is 7ftlbs, 8mm is 18ftlbs, etc. It's called generic settings. You would subtract some for hollow piece. More like a banjo bolt, 12ftlbs is what I would do. Adjust if leaks.
I just looked in shop man for 1100 2plug motor, in lubrication it says "drilled screw 8x1.25" 15-18 NM, most likely a banjo bolt

I'd recommend using the lower setting. There is a sealing washer in the parts diagram so I don't think it needs to be very tight.
