A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR METERING OIL FOR A TWO STROKE CYCLE INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

A method of control of the supply of lubricating oil to a two stroke cycle internal combustion engine comprising supplying fuel to a fuel injector from a fuel reservoir having a fuel capacity greater than the maximum fuel requirement of the engine per cycle. The fuel in the reservoir being maintained at a substantially steady pressure. Delivering oil to the engine by a positive displacement pump having a delivery capacity per pump cycle greater than the maximum oil requirement of the engine per cycle. The oil pump being activated in response to the consumption of fuel from the fuel reservoir to maintain a substantially uniform predetermined ratio between the fuel consumption rate and the oil delivery rate.
