Ok cool. My oiler has a nipple tho, maybe the syringe idea might be the go.
Thanks for all the help by the way, it's really helped me out.

Ok, onto my next quandry! I've replaced the piston on my engine and managed to remove and replace the wrist pin clips (which I thought would be the hard part) but now I'll be damned if if can get the thing back together! I can't seem to be able to compress the piston ring enough to get it in the cylinder. Is there a trick to doing this??

Read the engine assembly / disassembly procedure ? Most often guys don't have ring ends lined up with 'pin' in piston ring groove

To fit the cylinder over the piston, here is my method. Drop the cylinder gasket over the piston and let it lay on the base.
Rotate the crankshaft to get the piston as high up as possible (TDC) and hold it with one hand while compressing the ring.
Make sure the ring ends close together at the locating pin, which by the way should be on the intake side of the motor when you re-install the piston! Hold the cylinder with your other hand, ports located correctly in reference to the base.
Slip the cylinder gently over the piston and ring. It should go in smoothly. If it doesn't do not force anything, try again, making sure things are properly aligned. The base of the cylinder "sleeve" is tapered to allow for an easy fit of the ring, which will completely compress once in the cylinder properly. Just make sure the alignment is as it would be once bolted together and the ring will not snag anywhere when pushing it in. I
Then flip everything over, position the gasket on the cylinder and ease everything together. This avoid pinching the gasket in most cases.

Cheers for that. I finally found the pin on my own and now I'm all bolted up and the boat is almost ready to hit the water.
I'll post some photos tomorrow to show you guys what I've done. And thanks again, I couldn't have got this far without youse.

So here's what I've got. I think I'm ready to hit the water for some testing.

Looks like fun -you did a good job

make sure u have enough floatation inside and a piece glued to hatch so it floats as well.
try not to get your hoses too long from rudder to boat - they can flop around and come out if there real long.
