Outboard Oilers

[camaroboy383]

mark,,thanks for the compliments,,and coming from you,, it means alot.. ...

from the first one,,(the one above) i have redesigned them slightly mark.. for the better obviously...i have increased the capacity from 1.50cc to roughly 2.50 more or less...every one is spun one at a time,,so they differ slightly.. also ive come up with small screens to slow the flow of the thinner oils used... will flow anything from veg. oil to engine assembly lube.. the thinner the oil,,just add screens to the bottom to control the flow... i will be including 3 screens with each unit... also just recently ive come up with a quick,simple,yet effective way to mount them.. they are a special zip tie with eye's on the ends to put bolts through... they will mount to the crank case mounting lugs as usual...i will be including 4 of these ties with each oiler,, 2 of them i will sinch up to the oiler before it leaves...

ive found that machining grooves or single large groove in the middle is not really required with these ties...what i do is sinch the tie up on the oiler as tight as possible... then slide the tie off the bottom,,, sinch the tie up another 3 clicks or so,,and push the oiler back through starting at the bottom as it has a chamfer machined into the body..they hold strong enough to the point where you can literally pick up a fully assembled outboard by the oiler and shake it up and down...the beauty of not machining grooves is the ties can be slid up and down the oiler to fit all o/b engine lugs from .20-.80... i have been currently working on a polished aluminum mount but if that does happen,,it will be optional at an additional cost...the ties seem to work very well at this point,,and look pretty clean to boot....

here are some pics of what ive come up with...

Mark let me know if your out of the oilers, I sent you a money order last week. Just incase if you need to get ahold of me. Thanks

Was wondering if anyone has come up with a mount for Alden's oiler for the OS .21 XM. there appears to be a conflict with his mount and the OS throttle cable guide. Mark's unit seems to fit perfectly on the OS.

pete,,as i stated to you the o.s cable holder and the k&b holders,,mount the same... get a longer screw,,,go through the oiler mounting hole,,then lug,,then into the cable holder.. they will fit on any and all outboards,, if your willing to drill and tap the lower for a nipple that is...

or you could just mount it on the other side of the motor..........won't make any matter what side you drill & tap .
