The oil pump was developed by Yamaha to overcome a major defect in 2-strokes: premix 2-strokes are dirty and unreliable. With premix methods, your engine will be either over-oiled or under-oiled with the same mix. When your engine is under-oiled during closed throttle ops (high-speed, downhill) you will cook the moving parts. If you are over-oiling during acceleration, your engine will accumulate excessive carbon deposits. Accumulated carbon increases wear in the engine and decreases performance. Many racers don't worry about carbon because they run at continuous wide-open throttle & don't mind rebuilding their engines. The people on this forum aren't racers. They're low-budget performance enthusiasts who mostly don't know how to do a 2-stroke rebuild. The oil pumps were added by clever Yamaha & Honda engineers for one reason: increased engine life & reliability. The difference in reliability was so huge that most "premix" bikes like Bultaco & Montesa went out of business after Yamaha (and Honda) introduced oil injection. If you figure you know more than Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Hirth, Rotax, BRP, and the aircraft engine builders that insist on oil pumps for reliable engine operation, there's not a lot the rest of us can do to save you from self-destruction. As has been said before, you must have more "dollars than sense".

The oil pump was added for convenience only, and it works well at 50cc.

anything over 70cc needs more oil than the stock pump can provide.

When the throttle is closed, oil gas mix still flows through the bigger aftermarket pilot jet.

JJ has the stock carb on his "90cc" setup.

Is the stock carb the best for BBK's too ? :crazy:

There's no point. You're still a bit too young & belligerent. Not ready to learn anything useful. Now where's that nice snapshot that I had stashed away . . . Oh, here it is again:
I have children older than you, so don't ever call me young. Oh and I have forgotten more about two strokes than you will ever know.

Well, I'm over 70 so you must be a real toothless old fogey if your kids are older than me! No wonder you have so much trouble remembering stuff!

You can claim any age, without outside support of your claim, aren't gonna buy it. But if you were 70 you would be smarter than you obviously are.

Stock Oil Pump Delivery Ratio

Post by Madman »

Let me have a go, please. Stock oil pump stock engine! Simple

Larger engine requires more oil!

So per mix can control oil mix very easily.

So if my premixed Honda cr80 when I was a kid had a pre mix system why would that hurt my 80cc scooter, same principle!

And oil pumps are throttle controlled so they would have the same issue down hill as you say (jj says) unless you run throttle wide open down hill!!

Wow! what a thread! Ahem...
Soooo, if'n I were to ditch the pump on my aero80, and did 40:1, by what measure should I rejet? If I had a #90 with injection, do I go 95 or so for premix? Thanks.
I am looking to do intake and exhaust mods only... Bigger piston, maybe after the cylinder ovals... :)

Just measured my pump (not throttle controled) flow ratio: 60 ml oil for 1,9 l fuel = 1/31,6 or 3,1% as we used to say here in Europe :thumbwink:

You don't need to increase the oil ratio just because you're running a BBK. The stock oil pump does the job nicely with even the 85cc (50mm bore) kits. Where you need more oil is when running high RPM mods. A BBK running at 9,000rpm doesn't need more than 50:1, but running at 12,000rpm (because of bigger carb and tuned exhaust) needs WAY more oil (30:1 is suggested by others). A regular street-type BBK will run for years with 50:1 premix or with the stock oil pump. Scooters are just the same as 2-stroke dirt-bike racers when it comes to oiling. The gas:oil ratio needed depends on the RPM you're running at, not on the size of your piston.

This seems all fine and dandy, but what I've noticed everyone seeming to forget to mention is that when you upjet your carb to allow for more fuel you aren't adding more oil. So in essence the pump being able to deliver 50:1 mix from the stock pump on a stock jet is not able to deliver the same mix on a jet large enough to supply a 85cc BBK is now at around 75:1 or possibly even leaner. Am I the only one seeing this or am I wrong? I actually don't have much 2T background I've just done 4T fuel injection and turbos not 2T so this is al new to me, but common sense tells me that without modding the injection pump an equal amount to the jet you are in sense running leaner oil mixture even by just a little bit?!?

Yes, but hardly enough to notice at normal engine speeds. Where you'll get into a whole heap of trouble is increasing the WOT rpm. Then the cylinder gets so hot that the normal oil ratio can't keep up. The piston will melt. At normal cruising speeds (less than 9,000rpm) you don't need to muck with the oil pump. Get a CHT gauge (not a bad idea anyway) if you're still worried about it.

I premix anyway I've had an oil pump fail with no warning on a stock cyl and sieze my engine, although I've always over revved my engines which probably plays a role in it. What rpm is s stock sa50 af05e turning at 50mph?

I be surprised if an sa50 could come anywhere near 50mph on flat ground! On the flat, a stock sa50 won't turn more than 8,000 rpm, even with a tailwind. paulpauly7's guess of 11,000rpm sounds about right to me, if you were on a long downhill with a strong tailwind. Even then, I don't think you could hit 50mph.
