This is serious stuff, too! The Bijur system uses oil metering orifices
that can become clogged with dirt or the gummy components of old
way oil. Whenever you do a retrofit or other general maintenance,
you should check that each oil port is getting a correct share of the
oil. I tried cleaning some of these orifices, and was very unsuccessful.
I ended up buying new ones from Bijur.
