Oil lines to carb?

Well a couple weeks ago i blew the motor in the 7 and i was just on ebay and i cam across oil lines to the carb and the sell said as a description that you can't have the break or clog. I though to myself and remember i broke one and just put some vacum line to connect them because i thought they were vaccum lines but i was wrong. So could that have to do with my motor blowing because of the lack or oil to the motor?

That is probably your OMP lines your talking about. they help lube the apex seals which blew your motor.

I'd say you're probably right. The oil ate up the rubber in the vac line and leaked.

Hmm I guess when the new motor gets put in that will be the first thing to fix

I seem to remember saying something quite similar, just a short time back.

When you tear down the engine, if only one oil line was bad, the damage will be limited to that housing. That will tell is it was lack of oil or not. Post up pics if you have questions or doubts.
