Good rule of thumb - if it is a new or original oil line, fuel line, water hose etc it should be blown through with compressed air before going into anything.
No problem with the mud dobbers here in Arizona..... but when I lived in Oklahoma and started the tractor in the shed after a winter's hibernation, boy were they there and pissed off. nest of 'em in the tractor. Musta got stung 5 or 6 times before running out of the shed.
If you got stung,they weren't dirt dobbers!
Dirt dobbers don't sting.Or yours' have some kind of weapon that ours don't have.
