On the original MM 30and 25 with the starter cast into the main housing yes they were an art form and as Rick said they ones with the removable starter assy were a bit easier and the more you do the easier they become.

Mac created a very compack design and credit were credit is due they continued for many years and sold extremely well especially to home-owners

Rick done a good job showing how easy they really are

I have a mini mac 110...yup rather 'fun' to work on but not impossible.  I had the same problem with the oiler working at all (manual or auto) and really hard to blow into it so I pulled it off and completely disassembled it.  The problem was that the metal tube in the middle was blocked with sawdust.  I grabbed it gently with a pair of vise grips and wiggled it out.  Do this carefully as there is a small spring and ball bearing inside it.  I cleaned it out, reinserted it and then pumped away until oil started oozing out the weep hole (I also held the manual oiler down and blew into the reservoir just to make sure oil was getting forced in.   Make sure that when you reinsert this tube that it goes all the way back in.  I tapped it gently until I felt it bottom out.  The last bit is making sure the adjust screw set correctly.  If you haven't messed with the screw, it should be ok.  I messed with mine and that added an extra variable (that I didn't need) and now it pukes too much oil and i'll have to fiddle with it to find the right setting.
Hope this helps and I can send pics if needed.

Thanks. Not all that familiar with this protocol. I thought this looked liked an active thread so I threw my Q out there.. Just looking for some advice. Thanks again......Ed
