I finished 2 good sized production runs on new 1100 and have no jobs pending so I finally have time to tackle the blocked oil path in the head.
My 1100 arrived with a clog on the right side of the head. Plenty of pressure in the line to the Banjo but nothing getting through. I tried putting vacuum to it. Then tried compressed air but it just pushes oil out the small set screw on the side.
What is that set screw for? It has a rubber nose on it but still let's oil past before building enough pressure to push what's blocking the path.
Tormach said to try loosening the gib so the head is sloppy loose and maybe push the block out with air (which is what I'm going to try tomorrow).
I'm wondering if anyone had any similar experience and what their outcome/solution was.
