Don't know what I am doing with it, but all I know is I have a dry chain and a full Scottoiler which is on setting no 3.
Mmmmm from that I take it is isn't working LOL.
Kwak had to come and lubricate me, not good as now I have a dirty back end :rolleyes:
Any constructive (unrude bike related) help !
is there a kink in the pipe's or blockage you can see.

No kink in the pipe that I can see :(
It was empty so I filled it up then it just stopped working, not sure how long it not been working for, must have worked to become empty ! Mmm
CAn you move me into the bike ralk section Mods, I fink I posted in wrong section !!!
Sorri!
without having a look at it it's hard to think what could be wrong pic's of the offending scotoiler may work.

Try putting it on the prime setting. I have had the same problem when they have run out of oil, they do not want to flow again for some reason?

Yip, run if on fulll blast. When it is empy, and you go to fill it up, you need to 'bleed' the pipes to get the air out of it.

no problem'o i always here.
Prime setting is turning it onto full, it clears any air locks in the pipe work, it may also help to take out the black bit of pipe at the end of the clear pipe and clean it as it can block due to the v small hole in it, remember to turn the flow back down if it clears it, if not reservoir will empty in a few miles, expensive and leaves a filthy back wheel covered in oil.
