No prob, Rick. All fixed.<br /><br />You should see what a couple of disconnects did to my post in "nothing. . . ." :)

Re: Sloopy's how do I build oil mixer

Hmmmm. Chainsaw carbs I have messed with have built-in fuel pumps operated off of crankcase pulses, just like regular outboard fuel pumps..<br /><br />I wonder if the Sloop has an idea of pumping oil with that pump and gas with the regular fuel pump. Hmmm. But how would it control the ratio?<br /><br />Chainsaws also have a seperate (usually mechanical) oil pump to lube the chain. I wonder if he got that confused with lubing the engine. It does match volume with rpm.<br /><br />Stay tuned for the answer! :D

Come on Sloopy!<br /><br />I can't wait! I have a 15 hp Merc that I was considering trading for a clean running 4 stroke but now there is a chance I can prolong its useful life. :p <br /><br />A smart kid like you can type it up in MS Word off line (even use spell check) and then paste your thesis into the iboats post in 30 seconds.

Sloopy,<br /><br />I am still interested in how you do this, will wait until you can get the picture scaned. If you can e-mail me at rbarrow@dfwairport.com with any or all of the material. What size carb does it take, I have 2 old chainsaws one is a sears and the other is some real odd brand, both are wore out and was going to trash both, but haved saved the carbs and linkage after I saw your post on this.

Lighten up, gents. :) <br /><br />There is no deadline and no requirement that Sloopy post his unpatented idea.<br /><br />If anyone wants his money back just submit application in triplicate. :D
