I thought I would do an oil consumption check as well. The engine should burn 2% 2T engine oil. That would mean that if I get 3L/100km, I should get (3*0.02) = 0.06L/100km of oil consumption. Or a whopping (1/0.06*100) 1666km per 1 liter bottle of oil. We'll see. I figure the most scientific way to do this is to run the thing nearly out of oil, so I can fill up a whole bottle, and see how many km I do when I run out of oil again.
So this is what the visual gauge looks like when a Vespa PX is low on 2T engine oil
My test begins at 31620.7 km
And by the way, previously I had used 2-Stroke Oil SIP Formula Race. At 7.20 EUR per liter, I thought this was pretty expensive. So I thought I would try Orlen Mixol S at 3.60 EUR.
NEVER AGAIN!
OMG, what a disaster cheap 2T oil is compared to the SIP stuff. The SIP was literally smokeless and odorless. Now when I go on the gas with a cold engine, I have a gigantic cloud of blue smoke behind me. It's crazy ridiculous terrible bad. When I start the thing up in the morning in the garage, a thick haze fills the air with a sickly smell. The difference in the color and odor of the smoke is easily worth the price of the SIP oil.
Primary means to calculate I.P. is by use of an indicator. Indicator gives you an idea about MEP (Mean effective pressure in cylinder and at the oil funding
ReplyDeletesame time provides relevant graph (2 stroke engine) of the fuel injector condition and how good is the compression and combustion.
