Nope. You just run premix. The stuff burns better anyway and you don't have to worry about the pump failing

So once and for all what is the proper way to premix? I've heard 100:1, 150:1, 250:1 ???:??

100:1 is the standard ratio. That works out to 1oz premix/gallon of gas. TCW3 is what you want to use.

100:1 is what is recomended on race motors, like guys running 13B peripheral port engines and the like, the factory ratio with the oil injectored by the shitty OMP is something like 200:1 or 250:1, anything richer than that for road useage is sufficent, so anything most people run around 150:1 in their road cars.

And what is the premix of choice? Or would that be the 'premix of (the) champions?'

Does the 'mix' actually have to take place or is it more of a 'add when you fill-up' type of thing.

Most people just add it right before they fill up. THat should mix it up a little. Pettit's Synthetic Protek R is supposed to be good. Redline and Royal Purple also make synthetic 2 cycle oils. Even a regular old TCW3 should do just fine.

Well, if I am a champion:

A) I am in my own little fantasy world
B) I use whatever is at the store I go to when I need to buy it Like Valvoline, or Mercruiser, or Pennzoil.

I am a valvoline boy! (what the closest hardware store carries )

I know there is a way to hook up the 88 and downs omp (mechanical and the 89-91 is INSANELY expensive compared to the 86-88) I have that installed on my 3rd gen, and disabled so that if I ever get tired of premix they can easily enable it. Since I didn't do it, I am sorry but I am unable to provide more details
