I agree with Guy. I used a little less than 50 / 1 in my 582. You are
using just over half that ratio. There is an adjustment on the oil injector
to increase the oil flow. There are some engines that are OK on 100 to one,
but I would not chance it for too long. Ed Gray

Richard Swiderski from the Kolb forum wrote back in August of 2000 that he was
getting an oil ratio of 58-60 to 1 overall with his 582. As Ed said, it might
be as simple as adjusting the oil metering linkage.
An article by Mike Stratman on setting up oil injection is here: http://www.800-airwolf.com/pdffiles/ARTICLES/part45.pdf
There is also a short section here on oil injection: http://www.ultralightnews.com/enginetroublshooting/techtips/techtips1.htm
Hope this helps.
