I installed a set of risers and longer cables from Power Madd. For the oil pump, my owners manual calls for 22 mm of free play when you pull the cable housing out of the adjuster. With Power Madd cables, they housing doesn't pull out of the adjuster.
I called Power Madd and they said to adjust the new cable housing so the same amount of inner cable sticks out of the housing as the old cable. The old cable measured 72 mm sticking out of the housing. The longest I can get the new cable is 65mm, or 7 m too short.
Eyeballing the movement of the oil pump arm with both cables, it appears that both cables open the oil pump fully. In my mind, the Power Madd cable is slightly shorter and pulls the oil pump open slightly more, or at least the same as the old cable.
My question is, how sensitive are the oil pumps to cable adjustment? Is too short going to pump in too much oil?
I'm thinking, as long as I get blue smoke in the exhaust, and not fouling plugs (assuming the jetting is correct), I should be OK.
