does anyone know where i can get the bypass for the oil metering pump so it gets the oil from a resevoir rather than the oil pan?

Note it's a gravity fed reservoir, eh?



Don't take the oil level being at least 6" above the inlet lightly.

I would have to say that it definitely beats the price of a new OMP.

well you use two stroke oil... easier than premix because its in a resevoir, and easier to measure. i dont think its completely gravity related since its still using the OMP which is a pump

Yes, its such a pain in those 15 seconds it takes to figure out how much and to dump it in.

I dont know how I manage......

The only disvantage to that is that you will still be using the stock injection locations, rather than a spray pattern injection (if you were to mix it up with gas)

i agree that it is a simple task, but i also premix just like you do and it is annoying to pour into the gas tank everytime i put gas in.
