From the original questioner: It uses oil from the tank, and I’ve checked for broken or clogged lines anywhere I can see. Where is this screw to adjust the output? We got our machine used and not from Komo so we don’t have the unlimited phone service. From contributor S: Mine is a Bijur brand and is about 8"x8"x6" and has a rubber cap that covers an Allen adjuster with a lock nut. It’s on the top towards the right rear corner, then a sticker on the back referring to cc of oil used per cycle. From the original questioner: I assume this will change the overall output correct? Everywhere except the left rail (the right one isn’t the best either) seems to be fine like the lead screws and such. I will give it a shot though. Do you have any more suggestions if that doesn't work? From contributor S: I wouldn’t turn it too much, it changes quick and you will have oil everywhere. If there is oil elsewhere, you might have a clogged line or weak line. See if you can free it up, it’s most likely the nozzle that’s plugged. Pop off the line and run some air through them see what happens. From the original questioner: Thank you much for the input I will try that. If it is the nozzle how should I go about cleaning it out? The line itself doesn't sound too difficult but I'm not sure how the nozzles are put together. From contributor R: It sounds like oil is getting everywhere except to certain locations. There are usually metering valves at each bearing that controls the amount of oil. These need to be replaced at certain intervals. I would first do a thorough inspection of all the lines and bearings and see if you are not leaking somewhere, this is usually the case. If you have oil in the line up to a bearing but no oil delivery is present, probably the metering valve.
