As an alternative to oil under pressure, an oil container might perhaps be fixed on the dashboard under the bonnet, filled with one of the well-known"upper cylinder" lubricants such as that known here as "Firezone", which of course would merely reach the intake under gravity. I merely offer this suggestion for what it is worth, but do most certainly feel that something should be done in the direction indicated, especially if adjustments can be entirely taken out of the hands of users and the whole thing made and fitted with fixed apertures rather than adjustable ones.
