For a neat carberator damper filler, go to the local sewing machine
repair store and ask for a oil bottle. It's a small (about 5 oz) plastic
bottle, with accordion pleats. The cap has a nifty snout that's ideal for
getting in the damper opening without dripping oil all over the carbs.
Cost is about $2
