Jim, This is a photo of the oiler from my Sq4. I think yours should be similar. I agree that blocking off the hole and using a modern chain lube product is a good idea.
Hi Bob, Welcome to the Forum. You had better send a prayer of thanks up to your late father. That speedo is rare and highly sought after i.e. worth a lot of money. Regards, Chris
Paul, That 40 weight oil should be O.K. for 50°F temperature. To eliminate the oil as a cause of your problem why not change what you have in there for some synthetic 15W-50? What lubricants are you using in the primary case and gearbox? Regards, Chris
