Re: Source for Type DB and JHE Bijur metering units (drip plugs)?

As long as you use clean oil in the jar, and the filter in the bottom of the pump itself is cleaned once in a while, the drip plugs should remain OK.

Bruce's method is widely used; you may also want to know how to test the vacuum pump itself on the automatic Bijur; I believe there are several methods covered in the official Bijur manual on this website, but an easy way is to disconnect the oil outlet at the jar, and disconnect the vacuum line at the pump diaphram. Then with the engine idling, repeatedly hold and remove the vacuum line from it's connection perhaps 20 times. If the pump is working you'll see oil coming from the oil outlet.
