Reading y'alls recommendations and giving it more thought, I think I know the problem. Oil runs along the top of the hogshead from right to left basically like a small river. A scoop would help catch this flow and direct it into the magneto. But look at the picture below. Not only is there no scoop, but the threads on the replacement post extend 1/4" into the hogshead. This would act as a dam so the only oil picked up by the replacement post would be that shot directly into it from below.


So I could cut the bottom off the replacement post to match the original in length.


Or I could add washers so the replacement post only goes as deep as the original.

Or... I could cut the threads off the righthand side of the replacement post, leaving the left to act as a dam.


I think we have found the problem and solution.
