Especially when using connection rods with slipper bearings an adequate
supply of oil is important.Therefore
we have developed a small control panel which indicates the most important
information with two indicator lights.
A lamp for oil pressure and a lamp as a battery charge control light for the
alternator.
Oil pressur
The oil pressure must be evaluated differently as in a car.
The car engine has a closed pressure system and therefore shows mostly 5
bars.
A Zündapp engine has an open lubrication system.
The oil pressure rises to a maximum of approximately 0.9 bars.
Explanation for the technically educated friends of gardening:
When I hold my thumb on a water hose and let flow out only a small amount of
water, this results in a higher water pressure within the hose but a lesser
amount of water coming out. Now I take the thumb off the hose end, then the
water pressure within the hose decreases, but the amount of water coming out
increases enormously.
It's the same with our open system.
Large oil production to all lubrication points and a good cooling by a lot
of oil .
Oil warning light on, no oil pressure.
The cause may be: a fault in the system or not enough oil in the engine.
Charging indicator light of the alternator.
So do not panic if the light still flickers at low speed.
If it goes out at a higher speed, then the alternator works as it should be.
The control panel is relative easy to assemble:
The generally understandable electrical connecting plan is right here.

Black = to transmitter Blue= on D+ on governer Red= permanent + in lamp.
It's reassuring when no lamp lights up while driving.
That gives the assurance that enough oil in the engine is
and that no major engine damage happens by any small damage (fault).
