I was given an Rx8 2stroker bike the other day, and I want to do a buildup on it, (70cc, 19mm carb, 4.5 rollers, 2k-rpm clutch/contra spring, and upgear) could I take an autolube setup from a larger bike say a 100cc to provide the extra oil needed? I tend to go on long haul rides on whim, sometimes out of the state and really don't have room to carry a gallon jug for shaking premix.

Why do you think you need a bigger pump?
Go to the forum at Provo Sctooters and read up on what you want to do.

Y'know, I forgot all about them...Thanks  I was meaning a reservoir which allowed more oil through to lubricate the extra CCs. Or does it not need any additional? |

I premix. At least that way I'm 100% sure I have the mixture I want. No need to carry a gallon jug to shake gas and oil before you put it in the scoot. Pump the gas, add the correct amount of oil, and shake the scoot. Works fine for me.
If you are going to keep the "autolube" the resevoir itself shouldn't have much to do with oiling other than the capacity of oil you can carry. I think you'd need to change the pump to deliver more oil.

I add the oil first and the flow from the gas pump noozle mixs it.
I carry the oil in a marked off baby bottle and I can tell from the trip meter about how much oil is needed. Then I add a little, if necessary, to bring the ratio to where I want it(40 to 1 with Bel Ray SI-7).
I'm not sure about a bigger pump.
They are calibrated pretty safe and with a high quality oil, it might be safe enough.
Once again, I expect that somebody over at the Provo scoter forum has addressed this.
I'm from Wheaton Md. Ever raced at 75 & 80?
My dad used to take us kids back in the '60's
There wasn't much in the way of safety rules back the and I would stand directly behind the staging area.
My mom didn't like the fact that I would come home looking like a tar baby from the smoke and rubber.

I've raced at Capitol Raceway in Crofton, MD. I go to US13 Dragstrip in DelMar and Cecil County Dragstrip to watch/help friends. |

Thanks for the replies guys! I'm still learning about 2strokes. I didn't have nearly the trouble outta my 2stroke x-peed, that I have now with this 4stroke POS. Even with a 20cc upgrade, a little carb, spring and roller tuning and the upgear, I feel I'll still maintain a level of reliability over what I have to contend with now. |
