Just out of interest, how would you adjust the flow on a lubricator of the type found on a Polly I engine?

Different strokes for different folks, is what we used to say when I was doing Hydraulics and Pneumatics, the same applies to pumps, but better a tad too much oil then not enough. Have you ever had a stack catch fire from too much oil residue in it?

[@keithappleton]

Too much oil is a problem because it runs out far too quickly - then you don't get any oil at all . . . .

Morning Keith, I was thinking that looking at the levels on the oil reservoir before and after running at normal operating speed would be a good double check that your calibration met your requirements. Take care Paul,,

[@keithappleton]

I have done that by running the engine using compressed air, it seems much better now and the oil lasts much longer . . . .

Go thru the chip tray and you will find enough parts to build a Schools in 7.25"

A powerful magnet should simplify looking for a steel spring in a tray full of brass shavings.

Not really, it's non magnetic Stainless Steel spring & ball . . . .

@@keithappleton Never mind then, most of my lost spring finding is related to gunsmithing work where the springs are magnetic

Poor Keith lost his marble in the chip tray
