Engine Lubrication



12A Engine, Oil Flow Illustration:






System Description

The lubrication system in use is the wet-sump system. After the oil in the oil pan is strained by the strainer, a forced lubrication system, which applies compression by the trochoid-type oil pump, is used.

For the 12A engine, the oil from the metering oil pump is supplied to the carburetor, and, while being mixed by the mixer, is taken into the combustion chamber.
