Hey people, need some info/help
Several years ago, I bought a one shot oiler from Enco. It is NOT the Bijur name brand and recently, I found I was having problems oiling my system. Simply put, I would push the handle and it would not show any amount of oil going to the various oil points.
Well, I did use my friend google and found out there is a 40 micron filter that is build in and the instructions say to clean/replace annually (periodically). Broke it down and sure enough, it was clogged with "scum from hell". Brake cleaner would not attack it and I ended up putting it in my ultrasonic cleaner for 48 hours and rubbing it occasionally to get "most: (95%) of the crud off.
Now having said that, I have attempted to find this "China/Japan" unit on the net and no luck. I have found the Bijur distributor with a location within 100 miles of me, but I hate to pay $21 for a filter assembly for a unit that cost $40 originally and not knowing it will fit.
The unit I have indicates a "L-8" model number and I am assuming the possibility the Bijur filter will fit if I really need to replace it.
Do any of you have access to a "real" Bijur one shot to see what the diameter and thickness of the filter pack is?
I measure mine at about 1.98" dia by .190" thick.
Thanks in advance.
