Hi,

Finishing re-wicking my heavy 10. Mine is a
Single tumbler older machine.

I've re-wicked
Everything but the one thing I can't find in the
felts documentation... which oil gits should have wick
Material pushed into them?

I'm suspecting wicks in the oil git serve to
Regulate oil flow.

Thanks!

There is a guy in utube. Halligan 184. He has a good video of the assembly of a single lever gearbox. I don't know if it will show what you need but you probably could contact him.

I can't think of any gits that take wicks. Typically, the gits is just where you shoot the oil. The felts are genereally in areas of moving parts to soak up that oil and transfer to the moving part, usually shafts and the like.

If you take a hard look at each gits, and its oil passage to the end result of where its going, I think you'll find it self evident, whether it needs something more or not. The bottom of each oil passage will generally have a way for felt to catch oil of that particular part.
