Scot-oiler (again)

[Guest]

I've a dual nozzle on me bike and it seems to be constantly getting blocked , I didn't have this problem with the original nozzle. Dya think it's the bloody cold weather in scotland at the mo, or is the dual nozzle just shoite

Just wondering whether any one has come up with an answer for the spraying excess oil up around the rim and under any luggage stuff hanging on panniers etc.?
Cheers

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)

turn down the feed on the Scotoiler...if its flinging oil everywhere theres too much!

Oil consumption post (side topic)

Maxima chain lube (a spray wax (parrafin) that never seems to fling off and works a treat)

Yup, that's your problem, it's a constant stream of oil, so it doesn't need to be much

I got a similar prob with my scott oiler more comes out of the outside nozzle then the inner one ,if its turned up then no prob but get to much, turn it down and one side gets more than the other.thinking of taking it apart as its only foam packed in there where the nozzles join prob blocked with crap etc. Dont think its to do with the cold weather

Spray it onto the front sprocket and cover the footrest area in excess oil

One of the last threads of the last frum was someone putting one of these

on instead. 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.

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?

[Guest]

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.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
