Low oil consumption 582
in 2 Stroke Technical Questions
12 years ago
The oil consumption of my grey-head 582 appears too low, being about 95:1. I have adjusted the oil injection pump lever -according to the book- with the two marks exactly opposite to each other in idle position. Have disassembled and cleaned the oil pump, gravity feeding from the oil tank seems OK and there is no oil filter present that might be clogged.
I cannot think of anything else than re-adjust the pump lever beyond the mark line to increase the oil injection ratio. Engine has 200 hrs. I normally fly with 5200 rpm. At this time I also pre-mix the fuel with 100:1 to avoid any risk.
Anyone who recognizes this problem and solved it?
Thanks,
