Cheers <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd--> MB i was dwelling on that very thought some time back and can only think of (A) removing the oiler completely or (B) fabricating a curved extension to the (right hand side end) end of the chain guard which would follow the line of the rear sprocket thus catching any oil thats flung off or © buy an MZ or a CG wan25 with an enclosed chain im sure someone is adept enuf to fabricate the above mentioned extension....................Storm B) Scot-oiler (again) - Guest - 18-03-2006 turn down the feed on the Scotoiler...if its flinging oil everywhere theres too much!

I fancy one. Oil: you can use chainsaw oil in a Scottoiler. Cost was about 50p/litre when I was using it (some time ago). Great in the summer but a bit thick for the winter. Filth: just always happens with a Scottoiler, in my experience. Always mount the unit on the right of the bike and take the tube around the swinger to the sprocket on the left. That way the Scottoiler itself does not bathe in its own filth. Unlike country & western singers and people from Rhyl. Scot-oiler (again) - Guest - 19-03-2006 It seems that loadsa people are having problems witht he dual nozzle jobby, here and on CMC. I'm okay with my single nozzle jobby - the whole chain gets oiled with that...so why bother with a dual jobby then? Scot-oiler (again) - Guest - 19-03-2006 I still have the single nozzle, I think I'll put it back on, I never had any trouble with it and it worked fine. Scot-oiler (again) - ChrisG - 19-03-2006 If it ain't broke, don't fix it
