if your pump doesnt work, either dont run the engine or put 1/2 quart of tcw3 oil into the gas tank.

if the omp is not working you will need to use premix to provide lubrication to the internal parts of the engine (the apex, corner, and side seals)

if you don't want to use premix you have to fix your omp, don't drive on a broken omp and no premix, you will cause excessive wear.



some people feel premix lubricates more effectively and it definately burns cleaner (2 stroke oil) so it can be considered an 'upgrade', but it's debatable.
