Electric Oil pump

[sledcaddie]

With the previous version of the RMK engines, many adjusted the oil pump richer than the factory setting. There was a set screw and lock nut. The new version engine has an electric oil pump. Is one still able to adjust the oil ratio richer? If so, how is this done?

Only able to do it with a programmer like a bullydog.

linkage arm

I was looking at the blow-up drawing of the new oil pump. It has a linkage arm that hooks to a lever on the side of the pump. Anyone know if this arm has any adjustment? I'm confused, though. I was told that this new oil pump is electric, but the drawing shows a geared shaft, like it is driven by something not electric. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks.

Researched my answer was wrong

Not necessary on the Axys IMO. Seems to use an appropriate amount of oil. Too much in break in mode if anything.

agreed it does use a good amount of oil for sure

 

[sledcaddie]

So, is it electric, or mechanically driven?

Yep and controlled by the ECU based upon throttle position.

I don't own an AXYS however looking at the Polaris parts catalog I don't see any linkage arm or drive gear.

What drawing were you looking at?
