Chugger Pump Oil

[KarmaCitra]

Anybody know where to oil a chugger pump? I see the arrow with "Oil" above it, but it isn't really clear where to apply oil with the arrow. It just points to where the coil is. Any ideas?

there is a little hole at the base of the arrow 1 drop of the proper weight oil on there.

I don't see a hole at the base, but there seems to be a bend at the base of the actual pump. Is that it?

Yes, that little bent near the end. Drop or two

How often does everyone oil their pumps?

That sounds dirty , but seriously...

Once a year or about every 10 batches seems to work well for my setup.

What type of oil?

 

[KarmaCitra]

Says SAE20 on the pump, but that's for chuggers. Not sure about March pumps.

From marchpump.com for the 809-series: "The motor should be oiled annually with 4 or 5 drops of SAE 20 weight non-detergent oil in each bearing. If the pump is used year round it should be oiled every six months. Do not over oil."

Cheers!
