About how much oil should come out of the dizzy gear , my new motor, running a new rollmaster chain , everything else is factory, has a good drip coming out of the bottom hole and the rest are wet and oozing out   but not squirting or anything . Is this about right or does it need to be squirting out like crazy , i did notice some oil coming out behind the fuel pump eccentric , is this good , not alot about a good drip  or so and all this was done using a hand drill and about 25 pis most of the time , at 50 psi it was about the same . Thanks

From the last checks I did, lots of oil out between eccentric and gear....lot of oil out of dizzy gear.   I'll post link to video later.

mine with the rollmaster did the same thing. While spinning with a drill had 67 psi pumped a fair amount from behind the eccentric and a good amount from the cam gear. That worried me but it was still 67 psi. Maybe rollmaster did it to oil the chain more. My last rollmaster didn't do that but was all stretch out after 75 1/4 mile passes.
Does anyone have a picture of a new one, My old one had 2 small groves cut in it and I think I remembered seeing 4 groves in my new one that is installed.

The newer Rollmaster T-sets have a issue now.  They must have changed machining sources hence changing the part.  I have tried to contact them about the issue and of coarse no response.

The new rollmaster does have 4 slots in them now , my old cloyes had 6 i think never had any problems but never check how stuff came out , my old set up had the two piece eccentric this one is a one piece that came with this motor , go under my face book page and you can see the video, just look up Patrick Terrell

The slots on the newer Rollmaster have much deeper slots than the old Cloyes.  Plus, one slot is exactly where you don't want to be at the transfer slot to the dizzy gear.  I weld them all shut except where the key way is regardless of brand.

Here is a link to video on how the oiling should be....65 PSI on gauge, engine not running/rotating.  I misread your original post ...yes lots of oil out the between gear...some think too much.

Mine doesn't have that much running out between the gear and eccentric , but it also don't have that much coming out  of the dizzy gear.
