[AT] General questions

[Herb Metz]

Not a factory design;  a drop, drop, drop of oil (that keeps the wick/rag 
oily) onto a short wick/rag that rubs the chain in the rollers area.  There 
has to be a short piece of baling wire in there somewhere.   Herb(GA)

I have two general questions that I have always wanted answers to, and I 
seem too intellectually challenged enough to solve on my own:

How do you oil very long chains(i.e. my baler or sawmill) without wasting 
tons of oil and making a mess?  I sit there with a plunger style oil can and 
oil when it's running.  But even  that seems sub optimal. There has to be a 
better way?

As Dean VP indicated in an earlier post, I should use WD-40 to hunt for 
vacuum leaks on my 430. I have done that before, and I did it again with the 
430(to no avail). But I did hear many years ago that the only reason that 
WD40 used to work is because butane was the propellant and it no longer is 
the propellant.  Is that true?  Is there a better way to find vacuum leaks? 
An unlit propane torch came to mind but sounded dangerous.

Thanks!  Inquiring minds want to know.
