What is Yamaha Autolube?
“Autolube,” a combination of two English words “automatic lubrication,” was revolutionary for eliminating the system for supplying a gas and oil mixture to the engine, which had been a weak point of 2-stroke engines, and replacing it with a separate oil injection mechanism.
How does a Yamaha Autolube pump work?
The Auto Lube uses a plunger pump that operates in synchronization with the crankshaft to pump the engine oil, and the stroke volume of the pump (discharge volume) is variable according to the throttle opening.
How do you check an oil injection?
The only way to check the OMC system is to mark the level on the tank and see if it moves. Also if it is smoking, its oiling. If you ever disassembled a VRO pump and seen how it works, you would be able to see that the pump can’t pump fuel without pumping oil also.
How do I know if my jet ski oil injection is working?
Shut off the fuel line, remove the spark plugs, hold the throttle (or the lever of the oil pump) wide open, and crank the engine. (The absence of spark plugs allows the engine to run much faster.) Check the intake manifolds; if the oil pump works, engine oil should be dripping from the inlets.
What is an Autolube outboard motor?
Automatic lubrication (also called autolube or auto-lube) refers to a lubrication system on a two-stroke engine, in which the oil is automatically mixed with fuel and manual oil-fuel pre-mixing is not necessary.
Who invented oil injection?
The first manifold injection system was designed by Johannes Spiel at Hallesche Maschinenfabrik in 1884. In the early 1890s, Herbert Akroyd Stuart developed an indirect fuel injection system using a ‘jerk pump’ to meter out fuel oil at high pressure to an injector.
