Slow Monster rebuild

There you go that's what it looks like.

The bottle is only about 4" tall and has a mounting bracket.

The fork shaped thingy is the feed nozzle, which dribbles oil to both sides of the sprocket and thence into the O-rings both sides of the chain. Seems to me that the supplied, or suggested mounting method of that is a bit Mickey Mouse, but your bracket would hold the nozzle firmly in just the right place and make a worthwhile job of it.

It's an early version of the kit with just a squeezy bottle (simple). Later ones have a fancy button to fill the delivery tube.

You just squeeze some oil into the delivery tube before a run and it runs down onto the sprocket. How long it dribbles for depends on the oil type I suppose, and how much you squeeze out.

You can use any oil you like. I would probably use saw chain oil. Olive oil is good apparently.. I wonder what Castor oil would be like?
