Oil line size?

Post by toad772 »

What is the oil line size and how much oil would be coming out at idle? I have been running premix because I was unsure if my pump was functioning so today I pulled the line off and got a few drops come out(In like a 1 second span before I put the line back on).

Anyway what is the line size(probably says in manual but I am to lazy to check) and how much oil should come out at idle.

I have an 86 aero50(NB50)

Greetings:

Oil line is 1/8th inch here in the U. S. and A.
How much oil at idle: A li'l bit. :wink:

Should I keep using premix or switch to using just gas and the oil pump?

If I am unsure of the oil injection system function, I run a 50-1 premix and top off the oil tank. Then run a couple of tanks of the premix thru the engine. Then if the oil level in the tank has dropped, I drop the pre-mix and just run the injection system.

But if the pump is good it is safe to use just it(People in that oil pump thread were saying they fried many bores).
