Hey guys,
I just finished rebuilding the carbs last night on my 1996 gsx with the 787 in it. I have 287 hours on the engine, it's been meticulously maintained and cared for and Im just doing a bunch of preventative and routine maint on it. This thing has never seemed to burn tons of oil since I have had it (11 years) in comparison to some other makes I have seen My best friend has a yamaha 900 zxi and it has a smoke trail behind it all the time at idle. I have always seen just a little blue smoke from mine and that is about it....my oil seems to go far. As my engine ages and just in general, I have a vested interested in adjusting my oiler and maybe even mixing some oil in the gas so that I can make sure to lube my engine well.
Having the carbs torn off was a good time to see how the cabling system works.
My question is this.....you have the throttle cable which actuates the butterfly on the carb most forward in the boat. Because that carb is tied to the rear carb by way of an adjustable synchronized linkage arm, the second butterfly also opens and operates another cable that goes to the oil pump thus controlling oil delivery per X amount of throttle input. If I were to adjust the cable from the rear carb to the oiler such that for the same amount of throttle input before, I am now pulling more on that cable thus the oiler is now more open, would this effectively increase my oil delivery volume to the engine per the same amount of throttle applied before and richen the oil/fuel ratio entering my rotary valve ports? Since these things are supposed to increase oil delivery as throttle inputs increase, thus rpms increase, I would surmise that I am correct on this? This would be a simple way to increase my oil to the engine a little, burn more of it and lube my engine better as long as I am not too rich and always fouling plugs. Is my logic right on with this?
Thanks!:cheers:
