still leanring about dissys
 

I was telling the story about my dissy sheering it's shaft off. I was fussing that the horizontal oil path in the body had plugged up. Somebody said that path has a wick in it. NO sez I!! Everyone else in ear shot pointed out that I did no know my dissy's. By golly it does. I think I will be quiet next time: Never hachi...

Clem, Don't let this influence you participation or asking a question. I learn something every day and if I let someones input stop me, I will lose a lot. If anyone asks about there being a wick in the oil path...... you will know how to answer it. Right?
Hang in there buddy.

I've never seen a wick in the distributors that I've taken apart, and I don't recall seeing a wick in the Parts Price List. I have seen the passage plugged with crud though.

I think you were correct Clem.
