Does anyone know where to find the manufacture specs on automatic oiler hose length for Super Mini?

Is the hose on yours still there,or is it completely gone?If it's anything like the EZ (which it should be),I believe it should be 5 1/2 in.long.You can use a Tygon line on that.I inquired about this a while back.

Thanks Ed. I’ll check the one I have in the tank now. I cut it too short possibly.

Well, are we talking pick up line for automatic oiler or the manual oiler? Don't forget early EZs and SEZ came with single line oil pump which means all the oil ran thru the manual pump. In any event the pick up line that runs to the manual oiler is not a regular piece of hose, although one can be used if need be. This hose was more robust and ribbed. In all the years and all the saws, i have never seen this piece of hose in need of changing. In fact I've never changed it. It's not like fuel line hose thats used on the auto pump side in dual line setups.

The automatic line is the one Im talking about. The manual is hard lined....,unless I have it backwards but don’t think so....
The automatic line was soft and was practically glued to the oiler fitting. After hooking it back up it was leaking at the oiler fitting as well as where it leaves the tank. Needed to be changed. Possibly I cut the new hose too short and now it may not sit all the way down in the tank causing it to stop oiling prematurely .

Ok. I always cut mine at 6", i prefer just a bit extra slack on the outside, from tank to pump. But as Ed eluded to 5 1/2" is probably closer to the factory length. Although this is hard to determine from a soft and stretchy piece of old hose. Remember, it's easy to make shorter than longer. Lol

Thanks guys. I probably should have gone with the “push it in until it hits the bottom of the tank” measurement the first time!
