The £1-00 DIY dual injector (Scottoiler)

[Flymo]

Just finished testing my DIY dual injector seems to work pretty well, and at a total cost of about £1-00 is good value for money, The only items i had to buy were 12" length of brass tubing (from a model shop) that is a tight fit into the clear tubing of the scottoiler kit (i have a mk7) kit, And a pack of cable ties of which i used all of 9.

the tube was cut up an resoldered (a bit tricky) to form a very shallow ' Y ' shape with 1 of the arms about 2" and the other about 8" (the longer one goes to the inside of the spocket.

Then very carefully bend the longer pipe as near to the join into a gentle ' s ' shape and downwards, the shorter of the arms just goes more or less straight.

and using a piece of clear tube, and narrow black tube make a nozzle for the inside of the spocket.

the tee piece and rear injector is held in place with a block or rubber (piece of old car tyre) sclupted on the back and cable ties, the front injector is held by the various parts in the Scottoiler kit.




i didn't make the pipe long enough the first time the clear tube in the middle of th pipe is to add a bit of mechanical strenght the the join (which would not be there had i made it properly the first time !)

Will it use the same amount of oil,spread over the two sides,or twice as much

[Flymo]

dunno....

Scottoiler reckon that there dual injector ' should work ' with the same flow setting as a single injector.

i'll just play with the flow rate til i'm happy that both sides are getting enough oil.

Edit, i found with the single injector that in bad weather, even with the flow rate set to max, the inside ofthe chain wasn't getting much oil... hence the need to do something that didn't involv spending more money ! (well not much ayway)
