Judson MMO Oiler: Too Much Flow

[borninabus]

got my oiler adjusted all the way to MINIMUM and am not able to get the "one drop every six to eight seconds".
more like one drip per second.
any suggestions?

thanks!

370 views and not a single reply....dam
so i changed the nipples from 1/4" to whatever the next size down is (sorry, not great with imperial sizing) and that didn't change anything.
i stuffed a 170 IDF air jet in the nipple on the oiler side and that didn't change anything either.
even with clamping down on the line i couldn't get to 6-8 second drip before the line was just totally closed.

my plan is change the line from 1/4" clear vinyl to capillary line, like from an old-school oil pressure gauge. if that doesn't work, then i'll start working with the pipe inside the jar.

i followed the linked service instructions and still the same problem. maybe the needle valve is not seating correctly? any further suggestions?

Buy a new oiler ..if the problem occurs again your doing something wrong ....

You can buy a NOS Vintage Ampco Oiler from Judson guru George Folchi at a very reasonable price. George bought the company over 20 years ago which included the whole original '50s & '60s stock. Works differently to the Marvel Oiler but is said to be equally effective.

so what i found was that my "NOS" unit was not assembled correctly.
the little hat that holds the needle was installed upside-down, not allowing the needle to contact the seat as it should. it now functions properly and is quite adjustable.
