Oil injection! I'm gonna do it!

Okay everyone! Here's my proposal. I have been researching my butt off the past few days and I decided it is perfectly possible to do an oil injection system on a bike so there is no more premix and you can fill up anywhere. Here's how I plan to do it. Basically an oil pump for a two stroke needs to be driven by the engine in some way so that the pump is actually moving oil. There is also a linkage that is operated at the same time you twist the throttle so that your engine is getting more oil at higher rpms and so it doesn't run dry on hills. The pump I plan to use is this one Oil Pump Assembly because I feel it will fit nicely under the engine in the place that I imagine. I picture cutting off some of the clutch housing so that I can take a small bevel gear like this </title> <base href="http://www.bicycle-engines.com/"> <meta name="description" content=" - 2-Stroke Engine Kits,4-Stroke Engine Kits,2-Stroke Parts,4-Stroke Parts,4-Stroke Engines,2-Stroke Engines,GT Series Bicycles," /> <meta name="keywords" conten with the exact same number of teeth as the other small bevel gear and put it on the shaft of the oil pump. I have figured out since the small bevel has 24 teeth and the big bevel has 80 or 82, that it would drive the pump at a ratio of 4:1 off the big bevel. This would however mean that it is actually turning the pump at an equal rpm to that of the crankshaft. I know that this is not an insane thing to do because the pumps on tomos mopeds are directly connected to the crankshaft, these pumps pump very little for the speed they are going. Most motorcycle autolube systems run at a ratio of 3:1 or more, so I know this will be fine The easiest way I have found to deliver the oil from the pump to the engine is to make a system just like this http://www.dansmc.com/yam_autolube4.JPG This is a very easy system where the oil is simply fed directly into the intake manifold and pulled in with the suction of the engine. I will install a checkvalve on the intake manifold to prevent blowback, as air bubbles in the lubrication system could prove detrimental to the engine internals. The picture below is a picture I did on pain with my laptop track pad so don't make fun of my drawing skills Also, the rusty clutch was the best pick I could find Hope you enjoy this thread!

I'm surprised that so many people have looked but no one is saying anything. I know people have made claims before so is everyone just thinking "I'll see it when he does it"?
I'm buying parts this weekend and I'll start developing my system soon

Thanks Barely, you're right about that! Pageviews are also good As for oil injection systems, yeah, they die, and that really sucks. If it were a japanese bike that I was doing this for I would think myself crazy, but I really don't mind on the chinagirls because they are SOO cheap to replace that I can trash an engine through a failed experiment and try again on another the next week Developing a product may prove to be too daunting of a task, but I certainly think if I can get it to work it will be a really cool thing to talk about at rallies

I've researched this pretty seriously, there's no reason that I should be too afraid, and yeah, I'll get another engine if this one blows up. I consider it an experiment, I'm not afraid

You're young still right, don't worry my friend, you still have A LOT of experimenting ahead of you! Happy building! You have more build skill than I did when I was your age

Thanks guys, yeah this should be fun. I have read if you do it right there is no reason why you should bypass the injectors. They are your friends. Maybe rather than getting on for a 50cc engine and trying to get it to work for a 66cc, I'll play it safe and get one for like a 100cc dirtbike that is adjustable, make it over oily at first and then dial it down. We'll see.

And make a vid so we can see

Lol, you should totally do it
