1907 Model K
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

Re: 1907 Model K
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,

Your help was of great assistance as we have no manuals to refer to.
We have all but one of the letter cars(being theB) to get ready for a car show 4hours from here. Will take some pics and post them early next week

Re: 1907 Model K
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.
