Abstract
Adjustment to the lubrication rate for a period of time after startup of a two-stroke internal combustion engine, wherein the magnitude of the adjustment over the period of time is determined from an estimate of the degree the lubricant has receded from the moving parts of the engine exposing the moving parts to an elevated potential for wear, and from an estimate of the rate at which lubricant in the engine may be recirculated to the moving parts to reduce the elevated potential.
