Question Oil metering nozzles

If someone was to go premix and just cut the oil lines off and take the vacuum lines off the nozzles, would they cause a vacuum leak? I sprayed starter fluid by the nozzles and the car almost dies.

That would give you a good indication that there is a vacuum leak.

That worked well for mine. I also had good luck using brass bolt plugs and washers. If you do this, don't for get to cap off the UIM vacuum nipple that feeds the "spider vacuum lines".

The best solution, (in my own opinion), is to do the 2stroke OMP Modification. I've been having VERY good results so far. I can burn 2 stroke in the chambers, and Mobil1 stays in the crank case. Check out my method:

So can the nozzles cause vacuum leaks when detached? If so I will just take them out and put some bolts there.

Yes they will. The intake stroke of the rotor will create a vacuum that will suck air through the nozzles.
