Hello,

I recently picked up a 1996 Fadal 2216 in fantastic condition, I powered it up today, everything works as is should however, I have a LOT of way lube dumping from the X axis ways (maybe other places too, noticed the "X" first).

I pulled the way covers to see if a line had failed, not the case. The lube is dripping a large "drop" about every 15 to 20 seconds into the chip pan from the "X" ways. This is way too much oil.

Does anyone know what could cause this? The Bijur lube pump does have a pneumatic solenoid, not sure why or what it does but I'm suspicious....

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I'd like to put this nice machine to work this week. We have a 5020, same lube set up, no large oil dump on that one.

Thanks,

Joe in Largo, FL
