I finally completed the flow rate tests with a metering pump and adapter.
The pump was run with an electric motor at 6000 RPM crank speed. since the pump is operating on positive displacement, the flow rate changes linear with RPM.
The pump used was from a '87 13B Turbo, and is mechanically controlled.
All four lines where feed into one graduated cylinder, the pump feed tank was placed 6" higher above the pump.

At 6000RPM crank speed and 48deg. control lever opening angle, the flow rate is 498cc or .498Liter/hour.
Opening the control lever to 90deg.resulted in a flow rate of .688Liter/hour.
The 90deg. position seems to be the maximum for the pump. A run with the lever at 180deg. did not change the flow rate.

Richard, you need your web site address in your signature file.
What is your web site address again in case some one would like to buy
one of these two cycle oil adapters?
