RE: Clean Running 4 stroke
Here are some photos and a description of how it works.
The check valve in the oil return line creates a negative pressure in the crankcase when the piston rises. This will draw oil into the crankcase thru the small metering hole from the oil supply. Excess oil in the crankcase will be expelled thru the oil return port with the piston blowby. I have used a second bottle to catch the return oil so I can see how much oil is being used. In this instance (OLD Saito 45 4S) one ounce of oil was drawn from the reservoir in 2 6oz tanks of GASOLINE at WOT (approximately 45 minutes). I think the neighbors are beginning to form a lynch mob.LOL. Approximately 2/3 of the oil was returned to the second bottle indicating that some oil was bypassing the ring/piston and being burned (the exhaust smelled a little like an worn out auto engine. No smoke was visible however! Probing the exhaust pipr with
a Q-tip showed NO oil residue. As I mentioned before, a teardown and inspection showed no indication of damace or wear nad the combustion chamber was not caboned at all.
Further testing will be done now with fuel to determine the best fuel to use gasoline? pure methanol? gas/alcohol blend? blend percentage? I believe this is going to work!!
