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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:12:59 PM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Oil use From: "mikeperkins" 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. -------- Mike Perkins EAA TC/FA Havana, Illinois Model I, 532, B gearbox, GSC prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=384156#384156 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:20:27 PM PST US From: Malcolm Brubaker Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Oil use today we made an ajustment on the actuator and cable end-, and put a new filter in line .It is a good idea to track the oil usage often i think.=0A =0A=0AMalcolm & Jeanne Brubaker =0AMichigan Sport Pilot Repair =0Ahttp://m ichigansportpilotrepair.com/ =0ALSRM-A, PPC, WS=0AGreat Sails - Sailmaker =0Afor Ultralight & Light Sport=0A(989)513-3022 =0A- =0A=0A=0A=0A =0A=0A_ _______________________________=0A From: Ed Gray =0ATo : kitfox-list@matronics.com =0ASent: Friday, September 28, 2012 11:21 AM=0A Subject: Kitfox-List: Oil use=0A =0A=0AI agree with Guy.- I used a littl e 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 i =========================0A ======================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
