About the chain oiler.....
It was a dumb idea from the very start.
Older British motorcycles used that idea too. The Japanese just copied the idea.

The heavy #630 chain is a lot of rotating weight.
When it lets go it will cause a lot of damage from the weight and the force.

With modern chain lubes that we have now the lube goes on
and into the rollers, then coagulates inside and does not fly off of the chain like motor oil would.

These modern chain lubes were not available in 1969.

Change to a #530 chain and sprockets.
