Whilst a tiny hole is ideal (allowing a slow but steady amount of oil to dribble through), for 'spot' oiling whilst the engine is running you can just consider them as a funnel which makes it easier to get oil into the hole rather than everywhere. If you do this the size of the hole isn't too important - but no reason to make it bigger than the smallest drill you've got.... |

Looking good chris :thumbup: i like the cream flywheel, Ray. |
| NickG:
:lol: all my engines have red flywheels too Chris, not sure why but the cream looks great, might have to pinch that idea too! Well done, that is another project to be proud of :thumbup: Oh, the oiler - that's why I was going to reply. On the 'poppin' flame licker there is a design of oiler which is basically a cup as you say but as somebody else mentioned you can have a sort of needle going into the cup. Well this one is tapered on one end then bent around to give a bit of spring and fit inside the cup so it can be adjusted up or down - not a v good explanation sorry so will attach a sketch. Nick |

Nick, thanks for the reply. Is your description of an oiler to be used as a constant oil flow to adjust the flow rate by moving the taper pin up and down or is just a way of letting oil in and then pushing it down to close it off? Hope that makes sense? What sort of dia would you expect for the center hole? |
| NickG:
Hi Chris, I think it's supposed to be adjustable flow but the cup is very small. I've sent you an e-mail, the hole for the one I saw is 0.020 which is about 0.5mm. Cheers Nick |
