Hi all.

Has anyone else had problems with the lubricator oil inlet to the cylinder. It appears that the inlet where my lubricator feeds into is blind. After speaking to STW world they have said it my just be blocked with machining debris. But after removing the small stud from the cylinder rear it is not clear into the vertical opening that the lubricator pumps into. Hope that all makes sense.

All sorted....it was simply the hole hadn't been fully drilled. After some advice of STW today I sorted it myself....#result.

Hi Pitpup,

Sorry to revive an old thread. Having just run mine on air for the first time this weekend I've discovered the same problem with mine. I think my cylinder may be one of the same batch as yours. Can you remember what you had to do?

Thanks
ian
