I just finished a Kymco DIO bbk on a zx50, so now I have officially rebuilt every kind of scooter engine currently popular.

I rebuilt the AT engine on a Yup and a Minarelli both dead from oil starvation. Every 2t I have seen with an oiler has that has died was because it was run out of oil. I have maybe seen 5 messed up oilers in the 30 years I've been building.

I'm not saying oilers don't fail, but it's usually the operator.
