OMP hookup question

Hi guys,

I have a question about setting up the omp on my modified Nikki carb. For some reason the stock omp hook-up locations were removed and I don't know where the best place is to hook up the lines so both rotors get oil injected. I took some pictures of my intake and carb and was hoping one of you guys might know the best spot to hook the lines too. There are two nipples at the top of each float bowl that I figure would be a good spot but I can't get the carb apart to see if these lead into the float bowls. And would injecting oil directly into the float clog the jets and cause poor performance? Here are some pictures that could help you guys see what I am taking about.

Looks like you have one of the early "pre-emissions" Nikkis, and yes the OMP lines are connected to those two nipples above the float bowls.. The amount of oil added is so small I don't think it would clog the jets.

Thanks for the info. I was pretty sure that they were the correct spots. My carb was a 84 nikki and was abit different then this one. Just wanted a second option.
