Tiny drip feed oilers

Filling the things?

530 forum posts 89 photos	Bought a couple of tiny drip feed oilers 'Suitable for a Stuart' but am obviously having a dose of thick-brain syndrome as I can't grasp how to put oil into them! (Just had my Covid shot - perhaps I could blame that ) Don't want to heave on them too much and damage as they are quite small (as per the name), is the top supposed to come off or do you feed with a syringe through the minute hole in the top where the adjuster goes through? Apologies if I've missed the glaringly obvious somewhere along the line. Regards Mike

530 forum posts 89 photos	Thanks guys, bit as I suspected just didn't want to be ham-fisted and break anything, which is what I seem to do quite often! The vent hole is minute so it will probably be a case of unscrewing the adjuster, that will pull the needle right out and I'll fill it via that orifice. All the best, keep safe
