I use an old "Lady Clairol" perm applicator.
I got it back when I was a hairdresser...

I have all different oils, fuels and chemicals including acetone in these and they are flawless. They have a brass spout that you can twist its end to seal the fluids. Google search “ 125ml pressol bottle with brass spout”
Those look nice.
They work well
Yes I do like those. Ok I found them with google.
I also copied it into ebay and found them on there too,
Way to much shipping cost. They come from England.

Here's my budget 'dribbler'. That's a nail used as a cap in 1/4" tubing and no vent hole in the bottle cap. Two stroke mix in the bottle always even for 4 stroke engines because I don't want to make a mistake and start a two stroke with straight gas. When turned upside down it dribbles and dribbles faster when shaken. Of course that is straight gas in it now and why wouldn't it be?
That’s a shame! I just get them from my local power tool store here in Australia.
I see most of the racing teams at the drag strip just using tomato sauce containers to hold their fuels. They use some pretty harsh fuels too, generally methanol or nitromethane. The bottles seem to hold up! Either that or they like tomato sauce that much they always have them on hand

my GF likes to have blonde hair, so I collect her clairol "nice and easy" hair dye bottles and cap it with a wire nut
I have since found a group of 3 squeeze bottles at Harbor Freight with a 8" length of gas line on the tip they work great.
What are you priming? Im lost on this one! Even on a complete crankcase splitting rebuild, Ive never found a need to "prime" a saw. Simply turn it over a few times slowly, then start the saw.
When trouble shooting a saw that will not start the very first thing, I do is to squirt some mix down the carburetor to see if it would fire some. That would tell me the spark is good and the compression is good, and that fuel is making it from the crankcase thru the transfer ports to the compression chamber.
I just use a quick shot of brake cleaner for that purpose.
No thank you. I do not squirt anything without oil in a 2 stroke.
Many oil injected two-stroke provide zero oil at idle as the oil migration time is so slow and there is enough residual oil to protect the engine.
I dont make regular habit of doing it, but it doesn't hurt anything.
A Mustard squeezable container. Not the Ketchup but the mustard only. Ketchup is forbiden in my home.
I was not going to say anything but.
You do realize that brake clean is made to remove oil and grease. That means when you squirt it down the carb it is going into the crankcase and getting into the crank bearings, the rod bearings, and the bottom and top of the rings. I will pass thanks. I always have some 2 stroke mix around and is easy enough to use.
