My Scottoiler has been acting up since my vacation. It was seemingly not oiling while in motion, and once stopped would drip oil into a pool under the sprocket.

Bought a ball valve in the hopes of stopping the flow as was told there is a one way valve that Scottoiler began including in kits for hen or if you install the reservoir way higher than the nozzle.

Installed everything and noticed that the last two feet of hose the oil continued to drain out, but just a few inches above that the oil was still in the hose. Huh? Disconnected everything and pull it out. Well, looky there! A small little hole worn into the hose from the chain.

Tape, heat shrink, more tape and my system works again. Yippee!

Cleaned the chain while I was there, and swapped out the Corbin for the stock seat again. Probably going to do an oil change if I remember tonight since it's been 8000 miles.
