<HTML>Dear Don, Their isn't a check in the oil line. The oil pump is a positive displacement oiler. Each stroke is measured out by the adjusting piston. The positive displacement is adjusted by the two lock nuts on the adjusting piston that float with the spring. These are very sensitive. I adjust them at one flat at a time. All air has to be out of your line before connecting with the oil pump. In the 1914 Stanley price list for parts (same as '13) on page 31 shows an accurate phantom view of the pump.</HTML>
