The Sundiro Akita I'm rebuilding for myself has a 50cc two stroke engine. It has an oil injector but the person I bought it from had disconnected that and uses a 32:1 gas/oil mix in the tank. He said that there is a risk that then oil pump would fail and damage the engine. How high are the risk of that happening? Should I reconnect the oil line and check the pump or leave it as it is? The down size of having a gas/oil mix is that if you go any distance and run out of gas you are stuck unless you keep the oil in the tool box and fill up adding the oil. |

Personally I think the fail thing is way over blown. I've never had any issue with a 2 cycle auto feed in anything I've ever ran from a motorcycle to my 20 year old outboard motor.

it all depends ,, if you want to use the original injector,,you must check it well ,,the oil it was injecting into the engine uses the oil to lube the seals in the pump,,so the seals may be bad now,,,i ran 2 strokes i never had a failure

I have the oil line reconnected. How can I tell for sure if the oil injector pump is working properly. I don't know how long it's been run without being connected. Right now it drips oil out of the line that goes to the carburetor while it is running. Should it be squirting or dripping. I don't know if my posts are showing up.
