OMP Question

Where does the OMP inject oil to? The eccentric shaft? If removing the OMP and relying on premix, how do the rotor bearings get oiled? I trust that the seals would get oiled from the premix, but I'm unsure the mix would effectively get oil to the bearings.
Or do I have it all wrong here??

The OMP injects oil into the carburetor. It lubricates the apex, side and corner seals primarily. The eccentric shaft and rotors get their oil through the conventional oil system.

Yep, he said it all--except the fuel injected 13b injects to four locations 2 in the rotor housings and 2 in the manifold. But the purpose is still to lube the rotors.
