[ProFatSir]

does oil continue to drip after you stop the pump?

no.not a single drip.

[joajas]

I am testing using the same pump as yours, but oil is still dripping when the pump is not in operation.

 

I am using Castrol MTF 80 weight oil, oil continues to drip very very slowly even when the pump is not running.

 

I am going to apply some thick grease to the cover of the gear portion to see if it will provide a better seal, my only concern is that the grease gets washed out over time.

 

Meantime I am still looking for a better sealed 12v DC external gear pump similar to what I am using to test now.

good idea.. power la... UPPPP... =)

try re-direct the lines.

Sorry, but can elaborate on line redirection?? Thanks

[ProFatSir]

make a bend to restrict the flow when ending.

[ProFatSir]

no updates from ppl?

 

all talk talk no action?

i've done the motorise oiler already .... but the oiling position and the tip fail twice .... i shifted the tip position twice as to minimise fling to the wall of my rear tyre as much as possible .as i a devil myself. i'm using my 12v bike batt as a 2 AA batt can't cope with the distance of travel. Now the flow is like you on a tap. My tip is place in front near my front sporket . so i have to let days goes by first for my QC check ....

[shahrul_azmil3]

oh i too has a problem with the oil drip but seems to me as time goes by it disappear

why you always kanna problem....you can use the valve to restrict the flow.

[shahrul_azmil3]

the drip itself is cos of the excess oil in the tube .... so i don't think there is any solution for it except for draining it out ..... so far so gd .... working fine .... jus need to press the button for a few sec while on a slow move to lube the whole chain without the fling to the wall .... most sportbikers i spoke to told me that they don't use gravity fed or scootoiler cos of the fact that it fling to the wall of the rear tyres which is very dangerous . even if it's minimal .... so now i'm experimenting to see if redirecting the tip to the front sporket will lube the chain ... as the oiler is a flow not a drip .... so far my chain looks lubricated ...

In the end, u use 12v which is direct to the ignition? Can the fuel pump still useable when it is above 13V?

How to make the push button waterproof?

 

Thanks..
