Can someone tell me what this is for???

OK, The normal oil injection pump sucks crankcase oil and uses it to

lube

the apex seals. Since there is a lot of additives in crankcase oil

that

don't
burn very well and leave deposit's on the rotor and sometimes stick
the apex seals in their slots Richard came up with this adapter
that isolates the injection pump from the oil supply in the
crank case and connects it to a auxiliary tank containing two cycle

oil.

Richard, you need a web site.

I am sure Richard is so busy building and shipping
these things he has no time for web sites :-)

This sounds great Paul, but how do I go about getting one for my 20B?

What

is the cost?  What else will I need to do to make this thing work?
Don Mitchell

commision :-)

You guys thinking of using the late model (electronic) injection pumps
should be aware of all the issues.

1.  They are expensive.  I hear they go for $400 - $500 USED!
2.  What are you going to control them with?  If you don't use the stock
Mazda ECU,  I don't think anybody makes an engine controller (including me)
that will control the pump.

My recommendation:

Sell the electronic pump if you have it and get the mechanical version (much
easier & cheaper to find).  Install an earlier front cover on the engine and
use Richard's 86-88 pump adapter.
