I have had mixed experiences with Scottoilers.I have had the one that is fitted on my VFR for over twenty years.I gets swapped over each time I change my bike and has never given me any problems at all.I also have one on the Transalp.I got this one second hand about a year ago.It behaves just as you descibed,either no flow or emptying itself rapidly.Why I do not know.No amout of fiddling with it or trying different oils seems to help.
