Oil Metering Pump Lines Best Options?
I need to replace all four oil metering lines on my 86 FC and I can’t find them really for under $100. Is it normal for these to be so expensive? If so, would it be better for me to delete the metering pump and mix two stroke oil?

You can make your own using high temperature PTFE clear tubing. Instructions are here: OMP lines - how to fix them properly for stuff all. - AusRotary
But brand new OEM ones are not expensive and they are precut to length with all the bends in the right places already.

I think it’s better to delete the omp and run premix. I do believe there is more uniform wear across the width of the rotor housing if you use premix.
been presiding since I swapped in a t2 motor.

Having made my own lines, $100 for the perfectly fitting OEM lines is a bargain. No messing with tubing, crimping it in place, snaking them trough everything.
As for premix, on a stock or nearly stock vehicle, no. Really want the hassle of carrying around a jug of 2 stroke oil and adding it every fill-up?
