I got the adapter, and went with the same tank as Sgt Fox. Haven't installed yet, as the car needs a lot of work first. Looks like a quality part though.

So far, so good. It appears to be working, and no leaks yet. I've only done about 100 km on it so far though.

Is there any other place I could pick up one of those oil containers or something similar to it other than Ebay?

I've had horrible issues with their CS and am sort of against doing business with them.

Your local Yamaha dealer? You are going to pay a lot more though.

Do you have a motorcycle junkyard near you? Any two stroke scooter will have a tank of some sort.

Or maybe if we just send you some money for a tank and needed extras maybe you could send us one in the mail as an oil catch can form eBay leaks oil all over the place.

I think what he's getting at is you buying up the tanks and reselling them us lazy bastards.

LoL I knew that, I meant like have you noticed anything different? Performance, reliability?

I know you probably can't tell anything without a rebuild, but I figured I would ask.

I can't wait to order mine, probably in a few months. I need to start selling parts that I have sitting around first, lol.

You have a clean setup there. I really think this is a better way to go over premix.

No, everything seems to be working as it should. No leaks, have to top up the tank every other month or so, as I don't like it under 1/2 a tank. Soot on the back bumper has decreased some, as with soot on my tailpipes. Exhaust smells a little less oily, but it is still running a bit rich.

I am assuming the richness is a fuel issue rather than an issue with the OMP.

Have you tried Smogging the car with this addition? It would be nice to see whatthe emmisions look like now that you're burning oil that's meant to be burned!

Yeah probably another month or two before I go ahead and order mine, its going to be one of the last things I do before the engine goes in the new shell.

Richness is the carb's fault, nothing to do with the adapter. We don't get smog around here, and I don't have cats so....

Well, after a gas station jockey tried to fill my reservoir with windshield washer fluid, I made up a decal. Going to go get it printed on Monday.
