Abstract
An engine lubrication control includes an improved construction. The engine has a lubrication device that delivers lubricant to a crankcase of the engine in following rotational speed of a crankshaft rotating in the crankcase. The lubricant device includes an adjustment mechanism for adjusting a volume of the lubricant. The adjustment mechanism has at least two positions and increases the lubricant volume delivered when the mechanism is located at one of the positions relative to when the mechanism is located at the other position.
