I'm gonna Unhook my OMP

I'm not sure the thing works right, very little oil comes out. Now I have read several threads about all this, but all I see is conflicting views, VERY conflicting.
So all I wanna know is:

1. Whats the best way to block off the OMP.

2. What should I be premixing with and how much.

Mazdatrix has a block off plate around $5

1oz of 2 cyl for every gallon of gas.

Add the oil before adding the gas.

If it isn't working then leave it on. It will serve as it's own blockoff plate. Disconnect the rod and leave the lines connected.

I made a plate with a scrap of aluminum, used the OMP as a template and gasket sealer, remember to use shorter bolts when attaching the block off plate or the bolt will strike the housing causing damage, I have run pre mix for 25,000 miles with no problems, I use Amsoil in the sump and at 7500 miles it hadn't used a drop, I buy 2 stroke from Walmart, carry a funnel and rag and add it every stop, takes about 30 seconds extra.

Uh, That's all that's suppose to come out. 2.5 cc's EVERY SIX MINUTES. That is not alot at all. If you tested this in a jar it might be enough just to get the bottom completely wet.

It is not very much at all. You stack about five or six quarters together and that about how much it is, Maybe a hair less.

I wish people would read, and quote, the FSM correctly.

It should be connected to the throttle linkage to open and close with the accelerator.

I will confirm that it is 2.0 - 2.5cc @ 2000 RPM over a 6 minute period if it is properly adjusted.
