Automatic fuel mixer
The system is fed by oil contained in a separate tank.
The vehicle is equipped with two distinct tanks, each with individual hoses, for fuel and lubricant.
The fuel tank must be filled with petrol, no petrol-oil mixture of any kind, while for the lubricant tank
Selenia Hi Scooter 2T oil should be used. The oil level may be checked through the transparent tube
(see figure, 3) protruding from the tank.
Fuel is fed to the carburetor by gravity; oil is supplied through pump «p» whose stroke is controlled by
the radial position of a shoe, on the inclined plane of the pump, driven by the throttle cable via a lever.
This means that for any given position of the throttle twist-grip the location of the shoe varies, thus
varying the pump stroke hence suggesting that the oil mass flow is a function of both engine speed and
throttle opening.
Important:
whenever the mixer device has been removed, overhauled or refitted, there may be no oil
inside the ducts.
To allow the mixer to safely fill these ducts with oil, it is suggested that the fuel tank (1 in the figure) is
first refilled with approx. 3 l of mixture containing 2% of SELENIA HI SCOOTER 2T oil. Once this first
quantitative has been exhausted, any further refill must obviously consist of petrol only. The pump
assembly constitutes, essentially, of a pumping element and its sliding housing, and is driven by a gear
transmission (crankshaft/mixer shaft ratio: 1/85). The pumping element "P" is also provided, on its shaft,
with a flatten surface which, because of the rotation, alternately opens and closes the oil inlet (5) and
outlet (6) ducts, with the latter being equipped with a valve consisting of a sphere and spring. By such
means the pump alternately performs the two phases of oil intake (A in the figure) and supply to the
fuel diffuser (8 in the figure), where the fuel mixture is formed and fed into the engine.
