The Official unofficial CPE 2000i Generator Thread

I just picked up the CPE 2000 and have a question for other users. I admit I did not go through all 244 pages here so forgive me if this has been addressed. When I went to fill the crankcase I carefully measured the .42 qts. and added it only to find that it was running out of the fill hole. It seemed to be considerably overfull. I tipped it up and added the rest but every time you remove the fill plug it runs out all over. I double checked my measuring and I was right on. Anyone else had this happen?
