Oiler Wick

[drifter]

Anyone know a source for P/N 0510189 oiler wick? Anyone make their own? Source of material?
Thanks

Should have added this is for the OMC universal magneto of 50’S & 60’s

With all credit due to Mumbles, here’s a link to the thread on a wick substitute he posted some time ago.

Just what was looking for. Got a package of those in the shop and it never dawned on me to simply cut them to shape and remove the adhesive backing. Thanks for the help.

I’ve been using quite a few of them this year but I haven’t pulled any flywheels to check on them. One thing I noticed is after cutting the adhesive off, they are a bit thinner than the originals. I might try one with the adhesive left on and facing away from the cam as it might help to hold them together and fit tighter in their clip.

I thought this was a great solution, so when I first saw the post, I made sure to bookmark it so I could find it again. Thanks, Mumbles!

I buy the tune-up kits from BRP. With every kit comes two wicks and only one gets used per motor. The spares go in a drawer and when I get a motor with good ignition components and no oiler wick, I use one of the spares I have saved. I leaves me with several on hand at any given time and I don’t have to make them.
