Paul,
Thanks for that diagram, I didn't have a clue how that pump worked - the
diagram cleared that up.

No check valves Bill. It is a piston ported pump something like the old
Bristol sleeve valve radial engines. I still think it is
possible. Also most of the more recent engines had some sort of air
pressure assist on the apex seal oil nozzles.

Totally incorrect. The mikuni pump is positive displacement. a piston
with check valves. The guy is altering the facts to suit his preconceived
preferences.

     My guess there is not enough air pressure to force the
     oil through the orifice.
