Testing the OMP?

Hey there, the search button failed me yet again.

Is there an accurate and reliable way to test the OMP? The chilton's manual for the car suggests disconnecting them from the carburetor and running the vehicle for a specified amount of time and measure the result.

I'm not seeing bubbles coming up the lines and am concerned.

Thanks.

Yea that's how to test them. If you look in the faq there are links to service manuals I think the 85 manual talks about it.

I got some idemitsu racing pre lube from Mazdatrix. I don't even want to hassle with removing those lines. They are brittle and like to break too.

Is there a better material to replace the lines with?

I was considering tapping the nipples and putting a common hydrolic hose size on them on my last RX (before I found a set from mazdatrix)

I believe the output should be 2 cubic cm after 6 minutes @ 2000 RPM.
