Abstract
A lubrication system for a direct injected V-type two-cycle engine is disclosed having a lubricant pump adapted to discharge lubricant into each crankcase chamber of the engine through ports positioned adjacent the downstream side of reed valves of the air intake system. Ports supplying lubricant to cylinders in the right cylinder bank of the engine extend through a left wall of the corresponding crankcase chamber. Ports supplying lubricant to cylinders in the left cylinder bank of the engine extend through a right wall of the corresponding crankcase chamber. During engine assembly, the lubricant pump is manually driven before it is mechanically installed so as to fill the attached supply hoses with lubricant. The pump delivers lubricant to each crankcase chamber at a rate high enough to avoid lubricant carbonization at engine idle and low enough to avoid lubricant resistance to crankshaft rotation, which may make the engine difficult to start.
