Throttle/Oil Cable

[900CatAttack]

2003 1M 900

Broke my throttle cable and replaced it with a new one, my question is since the cable controls the throttle and oil pump (I think) on my first run with the new cable I was hardly using any oil (maybe 1/4 tank or less of oil to full tank of fuel) so I took it back apart and noticed that the cable was engaging the throttle before engaging the pump so I adjusted the cable to pull both throttle and pump at the exact same time. Now I'm going through 1/2 tank of oil or more to a full tank of fuel. I was not running hot on the first run, nor fouling plugs on the 2nd, is there a perfect setting? Should it pull each lever at the exact same time?
Thanks in advance for any insight...

There are marks on the pump you need to line up one for idle and the other is for wide open tough to get done but a little mirror will aid in vision.

Interesting, should I check these marks? I notice my 900 uses less oil than my friends 2 900's. Im still using about 1/3 a tank per full tank of gas. Does that sound normal?

That sounds about right to me fishtank. I think the oil tank holds three quarts so u r almost a perfect 50:1 ratio that Cat recomends for there injection.
