Scottoiler gone bad?
#1
My old one gave up after over a decade.

New one stopped working after about one year.
My friend's boss had his die also.

Grey ones both.

Anyone else experienced this?

(I bought mine from German Amazon, so no use in trying to get a warranty - in Serbia, at that time, no one was importing them)

I've seen a few units fail over the years, nearly all of them was down to o ring seals failing. That was caused by owners using used car oil that had additives/fuel in it, that attacked the o rings.

Contact Scott they're very helpful, possibly all you need is to replace one or more said I rings.

If it's not the seals, check the vacuum take-offs from the cylinders.

Mine stopped working when one of the pipes developed a split and I had to put it onto a different pipe.

If that doesn't work, I've got a spare Yellow vSystem one here that you can have for a few quid (bought it as a replacement before I realised what the problem was... Sad )

I'm in Serbia.

No official import or support.

I did check the vacuum on the carb and it is working fine - the main unit is broken apparently (the Scottoiler itself that is).

Since it's not the only new unit in my city to fail, I do not plan to go and buy another one.

On the bright side: I don't have time to ride much, so chain mileage is the least of my problems at the moment. The silver lining.
