I agree with Guy. I used a little less than 50 / 1 in my 582. You are using just over half that ratio. There is an adjustment on the oil injector to increase the oil flow. There are some engines that are OK on 100 to one, but I would not chance it for too long. Ed Gray

Richard Swiderski from the Kolb forum wrote back in August of 2000 that he was getting an oil ratio of 58-60 to 1 overall with his 582. As Ed said, it might be as simple as adjusting the oil metering linkage.
An article by Mike Stratman on setting up oil injection is here: http://www.800-airwolf.com/pdffiles/ARTICLES/part45.pdf
There is also a short section here on oil injection: http://www.ultralightnews.com/enginetroublshooting/techtips/techtips1.htm
Hope this helps.

today we made an ajustment on the actuator and cable end , and put a new filter in line .It is a good idea to track the oil usage often i think.
