Just a thought .... You could add a microcontroller (such as an arduino Uno or Raspberry Pi ) and use the pulse out of the ECU every revolution as a counter input to the microcontroller . These could then be programmed to generate a pulsed output to drive the oil pump every 5 , 10 , or ? revolutions as desired .
These micro controllers are small , inexpensive , and give someone the flexibility to do whatever you need .

Thanks, I guess its not much different than having a separate module for the egt amp.

It's not that easy but first whe have to figure out the original pulse frequency and duty cycle
So anyone? Up for buying a beautyfull little hand scope which is great for checking out all kinds of stuffLast edited by PanRonnie; 05-30-2021 at 01:48 AM.

If anyone has the Rhinda Diacom software one of the parameters you can monitor and record with a
Mercury Optimax is "Oil Injection count" . This would seem to indicate number of oil pump pulses perhaps per minute or second ? I bought the Diacom software for laptop so I will have to try this out and see if I record oil pump pulses idle to WOT

Couple of screen shots I took powering a spare optimax oil pump with my Rhinda diacom diagnostic tester in "Oil Pump Test Mode "
First picture is a single pump pulse 10VDC magnatude with a duration of 42 milliseconds .
Second picture is the full test pulse train of 7)One every second - 10 volt pump pulses with the same durations
I am planning on getting the boat out this week and get a full recording Idle - WOT showing RPMs, Oil pump pulse rate , and Fuel Gallons per hour

" i have a high end ecu on my set up and cant figure out how to pulse one of those pumps "
Do you know if your ECU has a programmable analog output you could set based on engine RPMs (0-5 vdc / 0-10vdc or 0-20ma /4-20ma ?
If you have no signal out of the ECU I recently discovered and purchased a pretty slick little module that is connected to a 120V + spark coil signal and produces an isolated low voltage pulse once per engine revolution that can be fed to an input of a little micro controller which in turn can be programmed to pulse an output based on various rpm points . I am definitely not a programming expert on these things but have been playing around with the concept and about anything you can think up a program can be created to make it happen .

Hey David , I picked up one of these pumps on ebay to play around with . I ran the oil pump on the work bench today with a 12VDC power supply and pulse generator with various OFF times . With the 42 ms input pulse I was getting 0.2 CCs of oil flow with every stroke of the pump . I ran tests on the minimum required fuel/ oil ratio of 100:1 per hour @ Idle = 49.21 CCs per hour / 0.820 CCs per minute = ( 4.1 pump strokes per minute required with 0.2 CC delivery )Maximum requirement which is 1590 CCs of oil @ WOT per hour / 26.5 CCs for 50:1 fuel /ratio per minute = ( 132.5 pump
strokes per minute required @ 0.2 CC delivery ) . This was based on my fuel ratios 1997 200 EFI motor .
I've also got a multi output fitting oil pump from my Optimax I was going to test next and see what the output is from that one too.
I am going to try to adapt one of the newer solenoid pumps to take the place of the old mechanical Mikuni pump I took off .
I've got so ideas for programing a microcontroller to run the oiler like the new motors .
Thanks for the tip on this oil pump it was just what I was looking for .
