Swap

Nope. There is a couple of things you have to do. You need to use 2 cycle oil premix in the gas.....1oz per gallon and if you have the early 87-88 model.....you need to use your injectors off the series 4 motor. Low impedance. If you have the later 88... June of 88 and on...then you dont have to worry about swapping injectors. I have been running this combo for 2 years and had no problems at all. It runs cleaner also because of the 2 cycle oil. It burns cleaner than conventional oil.

if you run premix like FC3sRacing said, you will have no need for the OMP.
