Z1a Chain Oiler

#1 PostAuthor: BigZCas » Sun May 27, 2018 3:18 pm

Quick question ?
Could anyone advise if it is ok to run the chain oil pump without actually using oil in the tank.
Any reason it could get damaged :?:
Thanks

its not advisable to run it with no oil in the tank as it lubricates the internal parts of the pump as well as the chain. i would remove the pump
