i took my omp lines of and started running 2cycle oil and now the only problem im have is the damn caps where the omp lines use to connent keeps blowing of and oil is getting everywhere any suggestions.

thanx

 

Disconnect the linkage that goes to the OMP so it doesn't pump oil.

 

Take the OMP out and block it off with a blocker plate.

Or rebuild your OMP with the kit from Lowe Automotive (read: easy as hell to do), and get the adapter so you can use a two-stroke resivoir instead of premixing

that kit is like $20 for small little rubbers... remove it and block it off... then premix... but its better to have the omp... how about when you get lazy... and forget to premix...

 

Yeah disconnect the linkage so it will only pump minimal amounts of oil and possibly link the 2 OMP lines together with a female vacuum hose coupling. I've never tried it but you could see if it works. Make sure your premix oil/gas ratio is 16 oz per full tank.

 

Nah, don't go halfway.

Either hook it up stock, hook it with a two-stroke adapter, or take it off completely, fab a blocking plate, and block it off properly. Anything else would cause problems, start oil leaking onto the engine again... and would just be a headache.

$20 for a couple of washers may seem steep, but it's definitely worth the piece of mind that having an OMP brings. You don't have to worry about forgetting to premix, you don't have to worry about running oil-rich. Of course, a whole bunch of ppl on the forum have been happily premixing for a long time, so that's alright, I'd just prefer to have a working OMP, no matter where it's getting it's oil supply (oil pan or two-stroke resivoir)

It's still pretty hard to run oil rich, you know. You would have to be dumping like a lot more oil into the gas tank to make it run really oil rich. I don't even measure when I premix, I estimate what 8 oz. is and fill the tank up halfway. Havn't run into any problems yet and I doubt it's lowered the octane. No detonations either. I'm using 93-94 octane for my turbo motor.

 

Do you have a link to this lowe automotive place? I saw it in a thread a while back and forgot to bookmark it. Do they sell that reservior also?

can someone show me and tell me how to completely dissconect the omp and show me pics of there custom blocking plate so i can get some kimd of idea.

thanx

 

same here^

 

Id like to know more about the resivour adapter... I only know the of the complete OMP replacements, not an adapter to use the stock OMP with a resivour...
