Drip oilers
« on: March 29, 2019, 12:20:46 pm »
Looking for some smallish drip oil lubricators, the kind with the globe sight glass for my hit-n-miss engine, prefer U.S. made (as I don't want to wait long) 1/8" od stem would be ideal. I looked at Debolt machine...but there's are a bit on the "to large" size.
any ideas would be welcome 😊

I'd simply say that Jin's stuff that I've ordered has gotten to me pretty darn fast in almost every case ... often faster than some US suppliers, and he has oilers that are of the correct size for most of our engines.

thanks Kevin, I have looked at Jin's,but they're a little too tall and narrow for me, I will look at 21st century next.

I've checked into the 21st century Oilers, small size looks just about right, as long as the shipping is not too dear I'll order some. thanks for all the suggestions

call off the dogs, upon further investigation these engines have roller bearings in them , when i pulled off the axle cap I could of swore it was the axle itself....they're even better than I thought  :)
