Hi all,
We'll I have my 1997 GTX up and running after having the cylinders bored out 1mm over and installing new Pro-x pistons. After a lot of trial and error, mostly errors, I have it so it is running quite well. Still a little stumble/hesitation off idle but I think that's sort of normal for these and it runs beautifully once up and going and idles well. I have been premixing as well as the oil injection through the break in period but would now like to 'cut the cord' and just rely on the injection system. I have been watching the level in the oil tank and it has dropped a bit but not much and I have burned about 30 liters of fuel so far. I'm trying to calculate how much it should have used. I think the ratio varies from about 100 to 1 at idle to 40 to 1 at WOT. Is that correct. If so, then when driving around varying the throttle from idle to 80% or so (still breaking in so not full throttle) is it reasonable to assume that it would burn an average of about 60 to 1? So for every 60 liters of fuel approximately 1 liter of oil would be consumed? Am I thinking about this correctly? Is. 60 to 1 about right as an 'average'.
I'm just worried about going to straight fuel and relying on the injection system entirely. I have adjusted the pump and tested it with a drill when I had then motor apart and it definitely 'pulsed' oil through the lines and there are currently no air bubbles visible in the lines.
I just hope it's pumping adequate oil to keep all the parts happy so I don't oil starve the motor and have to start again.
So my question is what is normal consumption during varied riding from idle to about 80%? Is 60 to 1 a reasonable estimate?
