    well could be but i remember my older brother pinching that tube down when i was a kid .on every one he owned . he would not close it off but he would just slow the flow a bit . kept him from having to clean the bike all the time

    just shut the oiler screw down all the way and lube the chain by hand every 500 miles or so. oh wait...thats a shovel, just let the leaking oil from the rocker cover, primary and tranny oooze back there and lube it for you.
