1907 Model K

Post by Kingsford-Smith » Thu Mar 28, 2019 1:02 am

Need info from anyone who knows how the oiler works on K.serial no 892.
Have had it running but are the oilers supposed to show a drip of oil.
Can make them drip manually.
Any help would be great

Howard,
The sight glasses only show a drip when holding the plunger down. The oil is "pumped" by an internal cam, and the rate controlled by the amount of turns the screws are turned in ( clockwise, more oil, cc less).

If your K has modern pistons with oil rings, the cylinder walls won't need much if any oil. I turn the front line up and the remaining seven lines are set very low.

Good luck, and enjoy your K. And photos of that good looking white K would be appreciated,
Rob

Thanks Howard. Quite a beautiful Model K. If anyone ever questions the colors, I hav found articles describing a K with red leather upholstery, and another of a K touring with white body color.

Please keep us posted as you get it on the road.
Rob
