I know it has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find the right thread.
I was just wondering around what year did companies phase out putting drip oilers on the intake manifold to mix oil with the gasoline/air mixture.
Thanks for your help. |

I for one have no idea. Seems to me it must have been about 1910/11 after the discovery of mixing oil in the fuel was a much better way to lubricate two strokes became widely known. |

My reasearch points to 1910/11 the same as Dick. However many manuf still offered oilers for those who didn't believe pre-mix was better. I think Lathrop was one and even mentioned it in one of thier brochures. |

I also think I have seen a later Palmer document that said they would add them for an additional cost. In fact the Palmer Q series of engines had the boss for the cylinder oiler to the end of production. However they stopped machining it around 1910 or so. Dick any thoughts? |
