I'm new to this. Why do you block off the oil injector? What are the benefits? And how does the bottom end get its lubrication?:-/ Thanks for any info. Still got lots to learn. Just love Blast'n.
i turned my oil bottle to a reserve gas tank after i converted. although i have never got to use it. not like im gonna be in the middle of nowhere and run outta gas lol
previous owner blocked off the one on mine after it friend rings in the winter when the oil got too thick for the injector because of temperature
he didn't use the correct oil or it would be fine in cold temps
also it should have hurt the bearings if there was no oil getting to the motor
it was proly to lean for cold wheather operation
I gotta agree with this. In our sleds up here NOBODY gets rid of the oil injection. They run from +50F to -40F on oil injection. The only problem is fuel jetting running lean in the colder temps. Injector oil differs from premix in viscosity. If you use premix oil it can cause cold weather failure because it is thicker in cold weather, but you knew that right?
As for not being able to swap carbs with oil injection, not true. The oil just goes to a hole behind the carb. This can be done with any carb. Even better systems run the oil directly to the bearing fed holes so all the oil goes through the bearings.
Even with this stock system, an air bubble will not cause an engine failure. The bearing cavities and crankcase is well coated with oil while running, and take a while to clean out.
The injection system has an advantage when coasting long downhills. Fuel is shut nearly off, there is little oil. Not so with injection.
Often when folks don't understand a complex system, their response is to tear it off. Automatic chokes, thermostats, brake self adjusters, air conditioning, vacuum secondaries, safety switches and guards, park brakes, and positive crankcase ventilation valves are all good examples.
i dont know what oil he ran. however oil injection isnt any better with engine breaking because the oil goes straight into the bowl doesnt it? it just mixes in the bowl instead of the tank? i may be wrong but this is what i thought
No offense. But u are the second the person I've ever in my blasters life heard defend the injection system. Every1 is entitled to their opinions though I've personally never heard someones system failing besides one member here
