Model 18 primary chain lubrication

Forums

Will the primary chain on a 1938 model 18 get enough lubrication from the oil mist coming from the crankcase via the drive end without any oil in the chain case ?

I would say no. A lot will depend on how its used. If you intend to go this route I would suggest that you spray the chain with a proper foaming chain grease (not wax)  before use and if going any distance carry a can . You could fit a chain oiler and accept that things will be mrssy..
