What is a way to test your oil injection pump

[Scspeed]

What is an easy and simple way i can test to see if my pump is working. On my buddys quad his motor seized, we just figured it was because it was old/ or not built right but how do i know if it wasn't because it stopped getting oil?

I just need a way to test this pump.

i guess you could pull the pump out and spin the gear and see if it pumps..
id just bypass it tho so you have that peace of mind..

there is a way outlined in my manual but it is a pain in the butt and it still requires guestimation. i would just diable the pump and premix from here on out at @ 32:1.

you could hook the oil inject up and mix your gas then go ride it and see if it uses oil it wont hurt it to run more oil.

he said the engine is seized so he wont be doing any riding

I'd say rebuild that motor and rip out that oil injector and block the junk off. Mix your gas 32:1 from now on and you'll be set!

start it...
let it warm up...
rev it...
rev it some more...
if it's smoking, then your good...

im thinkin you could puul your plug wire so the bike doesnt fire, then pull the feedline off the carb and give 'er a couple kicks, it should be pumping oil out the end of the hose

that would be my bestI:II:I

simple.... pull the crank case off remove that cover inspect the pump/gear and see if them gears are still there aren't missing teeth,chunks,shreds etc

REMOVE IT! my oil is bypassed, and the motor is removed i just cant get the gearshaft out. can someone provide poics or a detailed how to

Block it off and run 50:1 with Bel- Ray MC-1. 1 pint to 4.7 gallons. I actually run 1 pint of oil to 4.7 galllons of 110 octane leaded fuel

That's how I would do it, or remove it. Yeah just remove the p.o.s.

 

[LOCSTA]

Block it off and run 50:1

That might be a little lean.

I would never run anything higher than 32:1 in a small air-cooled engine. my manual says to premix some fuel @ 32:1 (they used yamalube oil for injection systems) and to put some in the tank, then take the oil injection output off of the carb and place it in a measuring cup. once this is done you are to start the engine and measure how much oil is pumped by the injection pump over a period of a a few minutes. i have not read this section in some time so i am unsure of the exact details but this is the basics of the process. if your output is higher than specified in the manual then you are fine. i also recommend getting a manual or at the least reviewing one of the online manuals to get the process correct.

Due to the ratio of oil to fuel, it's VERY hard to measure.
If you are even lightly modded with just a pipe, lose the oil injection and mix.
You'll sleep better.

I run 32:1 or 30:1 cause i dont race and like to ride wide open and some steep hills, from experience its been a nice mix! A little smoke and not too much .. If its not smoking then i get worried about my mixture... I would never trust the oil injection blaster system, after i tore one apart their too symplistic with a great ability to fail. Mixing is the way to go.. IMO, but i dont think many would argue that point.!!! Oil offf is the best thing i ever done for longevity of my bike..

Take the oil cover off and start un-hooking the BS... Do you have a service manual? Just disconnect the gear and whole pump system... I think their might be a DIY in the DIY section. Check first and do it right but theirs not too much to it..
PM if you have any questions and i will search my service manual for ya if ya need it.. !!!

you got that backwards...
the amount of oil in the gas affects your jetting and when you run very little oil that makes your jetting richer because your getting more combustable gasoline in the motor because you took away some oil...
make sense now??

 

[burnin'_oil_2001]

samolia,

i think that what was being said was that he is running lean on the oil and that he should increase the ration from 50:1 to 32:1.
