I just rolled up a scrap of felt and stuck in several of mine. Clean the hole out really well and you will see a TINY hole drilled through to where the shuttle swings, all you need is something to keep the oil there, but not just pouring through that hole. I made my felt a little "tall" so that when i put the cover plate on it squeezes it just a little to kinda force a little oil out into the shuttle "raceway" just a little amount is all that is needed too much and it soaks your thread and can lead to problems.
