OMP not working
was playing under the hood wiht the engine running the other day and i noticed that the oil lines heading to/from the omp were completly clear... oh dear
luckly ive been premixing since i got the car (and im rettty sure the guy before me did aswell).
just wondering whats usually the first thing that goes wrong with the OMP? and is it easy to fix?

THEY LEAK! The only option outside of a new pump that I know of is a rebuild kit from Lowe Performance. I on the other hand is taking a stab at rebuilding it with viton o-rings I ordered myself that did not consist of a pre-fab kit.

I did mine that way. No leaks so far. Going on 6 months. I may offer a rebuild w/exchange service for those who need it.
Oh and to answer your question Bolox, they dont usually fail, the leak like the guys said. Is the OMP rod hooked up and adjusted correctly?

Look in the FAQ thread, and use the search function. Your adding the oil to the gas instead of using the OMP to put oil into the combustion chamber like a 2 cycle engine.

I usually run 100:1. Using Amsoil 2 cycle oil.
Carl that would be a great service to add, rebuilding of the OMP.

Whatever Carl charges, I'll do it for a dollar less. J/K Not a bad idea though Carl. I rebuilt mine and it looked like crap so I pollished it up and made it look a lot better.
