[QUOTE="levert, post: 680052, member: 28082"] Most oilpumps will pump less oil at idle and lots at high RPM(makes sense).I'm sure my next comment will open much discussion.Oil lubricates and draws the heat from the piston to the cylinder then the cooling system by making a perfect seal from piston ring to cylinder wall.Outboard marine engines,high reving model airplane engines etc make maximum power with ratios at 10 or 15 to one.Obviously in day to day running this is not desireable , fouling plugs, smoke and the terrible emmisions. Opti and other oils with high ratios(100:1)came to be from chainsaws and guys cutting all day.If your breathing smoke from the next guy or your own saw it can be sickening. Oil and ratios is a highly technical topic, generally speaking the smaller and higher reving a motor is, the more oil it needs(oil migration). Often friends and I will duke it out on the Opti 100:1 verses my preference of Klotz at 32:1, sometimes the arguements are intense. So does less oil make more power? I would say no.Keep your pump, these guys who put these things together are pretty smart and make motors that withstand a wide variety of applications. There are some good websites on this topic,I find it interesting, most people will read it to go to sleep. [/QUOTE]
