Su tip

[HarryL]

Tired of trying to feed those hungry SU's with oil;
overfilling and spilling it on your perfect engine ?
Go to O'Reilly's and get an antifreeze tester.
It's a small syringe with a flexible hose-works great and no mess.

Good idea Harry. Have you used this enough to know if the rubber like material is resistant to oil? Tom

Looks good after several uses.
Hey they were pretty inexpensive.
Use them for brake fluid levels also.

Or... clean a long screwdriver. Rest the tip of the screwdriver in the port on top of the SU. Place the mouth of the oil bottle against the screwdriver shank and begin to pour slowly. The oil will flow down the shank of the screwdriver and into the carb. This is also handy when pouring DOT-5 brake fluid into the reservoir as a method to minimize bubbles in the brake fluid.

Another alternative if you like either 30W or 20W carb oil is to use 3-In-1 oil in the small bottles with the squirt tops. The blue 3-In-1 is 20W, the red is 30W.

I must be old fashioned. I use an small oil can with a pump on it. You can get one for $3 from Harbor Freight.

Although I prefer the ones with a hard spout rather then flexible shown.

And, it comes in handy for lubing other stuff.

Assuming your dashpot oil comes in a one quart container with a foil seal under the cap when it's unopened, try this:

Poke two holes opposite each other in the foil seal -- oil comes out smoothly from the bottom hole; air goes in the top so there's no "glug".

Gentlemen -- Where is your sense of style?

I use an olive oil dispenser, similar to this:

No kidding, I really do.
