Investigating why I found the head had fallen apart and the zippy ties fallen out. The head is also open between the two zippy ties, so why would the oil even go to the zippy ties instead of simply taking the easy way out and drop out of the head? I was just taking a look last night. Might be but the current litre of gearbox oil will last me a long time before I can try it! My guess is the gearbox oil sold for trucks, which is SAE 85-140 would probably be best. The system works best at speeds over 40mph', he wrote. It also has the best delivery head available which is closed all the way up to the sprocket and thus won't spray oil all over the place. If you meet with an accountant every so often, you can also show them live books rather than wasting time going over potentially outdated information.
Here is some more information on the parts mentioned in this posting. Boch Honda prides itself with our comprehensive Honda Parts Department, offering a wide variety of quality genuine OEM parts. The OEM parts are built on the same factory assembly line as the GRI pads, then installed at the Honda, Ford, and VW factories. But even if you do that then the poorly designed head will ensure most of the oil doesn't even reach the sprocket or chain. When your speed is low it will actually find it's way to the sprocket but the low speed means it will simply leave between sprocket and chain, only slightly lubing the inside of the chain in the process. Dennis' idea of higher speeds works on the principle of so much oil trying to leave through the gap between chain and sprocket that it can't escape quickly enough and thus overflows to the other side of the chain.
It depends on oil droplets running down a zippy tie onto the sprocket. When you're doing 70mph the wind simply blows the oil off the zippy tie. Although not fully automatic, it seemed a good system, simple and cheap enough to try, so I sent Dennis from Loobman an email explaining what we were doing and that we'd like to use his chain oilers. I also explained that I told him before I bought the units, what we were doing and that by his own admission he now agreed his system wouldn't do that all that well. Now the oil was dispensed to both sides of the sprocket and centrifugal force spread it to the chain. The oil finds it's way to the outside of the sprocket and then simply leaves it through the gap between the sprocket and chain. Then we dropped out of national parks for a while and cruised at 65-70mph for a long stretch, so I used the Loobman again. We worked our way down through as many national parks in the USA as we could, where speed limits are often less than that.
Three speed semi-automatic gearbox. This transmission controls the power application and it is normally termed as the gearbox with gear trains and gears to provide torque conversion and speed from its rotation power. This system uses a pump and takes distance travelled and speed into account. It has a couple of advantages, like a shut-off when the engine stops and it gives a continuous oil supply, but still works on gravity and doesn't take speed of driving and/or distance covered into account. The only way this system could work is if it would supply a constant supply of oil to create an oil film, like the Scott Oiler does for instance. I contacted Scott Oiler directly and again no reply鈥?So I started looking at other options. Looking at other chain oilers, with lessons learned with Loobman, I don't think the Scott Oiler would work properly either. Some have suggested chain bar oil from a chainsaw would work even better.
