I know this is a long shot, but I have helped many people in the past with long shots...i need a Wassell/Mudlark chain oiler for my bike. I will buy, trade or give me the deal. Thanks.

Ron, If Matt has any oilers can you let us know. Thanks
Glenn Berry
Glenn,
Matt doesn't have any...what he has is the cap to the oil reservoir. So he has received numerous call from who knows? about the oiler. Thanks Skip for the help.

I need one as well . They look to be a petcock used on a Rickman steel gas tank. Now there will be a petcock shortage. LG

Way to go Larry, now Rickman petcocks will cost a $100 or more - LOL - "just a joke"
it is a little more involved then that,
i spoke to Gordon Brennan today and he will post a few pics of his origional oiler mounted on his Wassell, he sent me the pics and they show what it looks like and how it mounts.
thanks,

Here is the original. After this weekends Trial, I will remove it and see if I can make one.

Actually Gordan's isn't complete as it doesn't have the correct regulator (his has a screw in its place), but thanks for posting the picture.
Ron Carbaugh
JEEZ, Does anyone have an original, or picture of one? I can't figure out why anyone would take it off in the first place. Did they think removing a few ounces would make them a better Trials rider? Maybe I should try that! Anyone want mine? :D
Only kidding.
Gordan I knew there was no way to post my response without getting poked [:p]. Thanks again for posting the picture.

The casting is larger on the Rickman (same function) than Gordon's pic ,his is missing the pull button as it shows in my Mud Lark sales Lit. There is a pic in the gallery July 2004 Lex Ohio. LG
I've seen two types. I have one with a hex knob and one with a round knob.

What happened to the one I gave you Uncle Ronnie [?]

I just went to the photo gallery. It brings up yet another question.
When I was at VMD in Ohio this year, there was another Wassell at the Penton area. He and I were talking and comparing bikes. He mentioned the name "Mudlark" and, I think it was someone by the name of Dane, came over and told us NIETHER of our bikes were Mudlarks. I'm not much of an arguer, so I listened as he told us our bikes were simply Penton Trials bikes. And that the Mudlark was different.
Now I see the one in the photo gallery with a Mudlark sticker on it and virtually the same as mine and the other guys. Same seat, same fenders, same tank, same motor and same colors. Just different decals.
So what is the one in the gallery, a Penton Trials bike or a Mudlark?
Also, Since seeing the oiler in the gallery and hearing from Ron and Lew, seeing different types of knobs, I wouldn't be surprised if the one on mine is original (or at least from where it came from). It would appear they obviously used different knobs and mine is British threads as well. 1/4 - 26 I think.

Rob shows the one with the round knod. The one I have with the hex knob is about the same diameter.
