Dumb 70cc kit install question

Hi there,
I have a dumb question that hopefully someone will answer for me and not laugh at me too much.
Once a 70cc big bore kit has been installed on the R50X. Does the oil pump need to be adjusted so enough oil is being supplied to the engine? I am assuming here that the 70cc kit needs more oil than the standard 50cc? If the oil pump does need adjusting can anyone shed some light on how to do this??

Cheers

no way to adjust the pump,
if you are really nervous about seizing your piston
or something ( and most guys don't do anything)
you can premix ... but if your seeing smoke without
premix your OK,,  but if your going to go race your buddies
that be the day i'd do pmix , for  insurance.

that being said i always put 4oz of oil in the tank when
i  prep a new scooter for a customer or i rebuild top end or
when its a new crank.
also since its a new cylinder & piston ...don't tromp on it
let everything seat  right

Oilyhans,
Was hoping you would pick this question up. Thanks for the answer.

I have another dumb question about the oil pump. Does the pump feed oil directly to the crank case and the fuel?? 

btw, i like your website
