I would like to put some sylicone lines on them if that would be ok? And yes they are rubber lines I believe, haven't really touched em or anything, too oily and greasy.

it's a 13B, ummm..,...not sure if it's the original engine however, only has 70K miles on it. Could be rebuild. But the girl I bought it off of said it's out of a 78 then said it's out of a 84. Sooo I don't know what year.

lol, you can pull your omp off without worry. you can then look and see what type your engine is using. then, this is a surefire way to know te proper ones to order. i still suggest you replace the omp lines with the stock ones if possible

no, there will be a little oil, but nothing you can't clean up with a rag

well the kit I tihnk was supplied with these oil lines cause the fittings on the carb might be bigger, I think I'm gonna get some new lines and clamps to keep the ends tight, would that be ok?

should be ok at the carb. now, the protrusions on the omp are gonna be smaller and i would be worried about a leak there. just my opinion. i am sure it has been done before. i am sure you aren't the only person with a mikuni. perhaps you could block off and premix?

you have a variety of choices. mmo, 2 cycl oil..... it'll keep the gas seals lubricated, the engine cool, and help to seal for compression

alright I'm gonna throw some clamps on the ends near the metering pump. Now onto the discussion of the oil pan, how do I replace the gasket there? Do I have to drain he oil, or can I just drop the pan and replace the gasket, I got like 3 gaskets laying around somewhere, part of the goodies that came with the car.
