The answer depends on how the carb is set up. If it has the lever on the forward side of the throttle shaft, no need for pre-mix as long as the MOP rod and lines are connected.

Yep...i believe there is a typo there as well. MOP is OMP, which is Oil Metering pump. You need the lever and the lines from this hooked up for oil injection into the carb throat.

So if your carb has oil injection lines and can be hooked up to the lever to judge how much oil you need injected then no, you don't need to pre-mix. If you don't want to drill holes and tap lines into the manifold/carb throat, which i think you'll have to, then yes, pre-mix would be your deal.

Goodluck.

There is no typo, just a lot of members who can't read the FSM. It's Metering Oil Pump, not the other way around.

Hmmm well i shall remember that. =D

My bad trochoid...that's what i get for messing with greatness i suppose. =]

Yes-yes, it's the "Metering Oil Pump", not to be confused with an "oil metering pump", which would...
-meter oil into the intake. A common mistake made by the illiterate.

I blame the translater who did the FSM. Have any of you visited a Japanese language web site and tried to read it with the translater. Thier sentence structure and syntax is quite different from ours. Even with the translater it's difficult to read and understand.

Sterling

Yes, exactly. I visit them to read reviews about cameras. The way they express past tense verbs is also very difficult to grasp.

The majority know it as the "OMP". As long as everyone know what the heck were talking about I guess it really doesnt matter.
