This question is based on paranoia

Removed rats nest, Air pump, added weber 45mm hooked up OMP to the carb.

I can see the little bubbles moving, working thier little busy bodys to the carb.

My question is do i need to premix?

Thanks for your time, i hope you can help with my mental state ( you know what i mean ).

Dan

The OMP should be ok as you see the bubbles going up. You don't need to premix if the OMP is working fine.

Test the OMP.

It sould flow something like 2.2cc in six minuts at 2k rpm. (don't quote me on that, check the FSM)

It it is performing in spec there is no need to premix.

Like said above, bubbles are normal.

As said, as long as the OMP is outputting the correct amount, you don't NEED to premix. I have the stock OMP hooked up, and working correctly, yet I still add 1/2oz per gallon of 2 stroke oil. I look at it as a safety measure.
