scottoiler survey results

I think other users you refer to are mistaken or have old models or a different make altogether ... the Scott Oiler I installed is on only when the engine is and off when the engine stops. It taps into the vacuum line going to the fuel petcock for automatic on and off. As far as streaks of oil on clothes and tires ... there's a flow adjuster that I use a lot. Flow will tend to very with temps but it seems the differences must be quite a bit like winter and summer. As far as all the worry worts go with their concern of oiling the rear tire ... the amount of oil it holds CAN NOT come out fast enough to oil the tread. I have ran mine as fast as it would flow with oil almost as thin as water (WD40) and it has yet to put a single drop on the tread. I thought I was bad being so lazy to install an auto oiler but those folks who can't turn the dial a smidge take the cake ! Another reason I like the Scott is coming of the trails and heading for home, I just reach down and crank up the flow to wash away all the mud. Actually, cranking the flow means about 2 drops a minute but the chain ends up spotless in no time. Steve in Cincy
