I just noticed one of the four lines coming from my OMP looks dry. Until I can address this issue, should I premix? How much oil should I add to a full tank?

 

I have a s4 t2 omp setup in really good condition.

 

An oz a gallon.

Remove the banjo bolt on the supposed dry line. Hold the engine at 2000rpm while lifting up fully on the omp rod. Do that for a couple of minutes. See if oil is coming out the hole where the banjo bolt was. You do that to determine if one of the small holes in the pump is blocked up. If oil is coming out, try a couple of things.

Swap that supposed dry hose with one of the other hose on the omp. Then go drive for twenty miles or so and look again at the Dry hose. OR just rev the engine over 2000 rpm in the driveway while HOLDING THE OMP ROD fully up for five minutes. Then see if the *dry*hose has filled or not.

Or if your adventurous.......get three common non banjo bolts and install them in the three *wet* holes to block off the output from those holes. Leave the *dry* hole connected to its line. Go drive for twenty miles and look at it again. It should be full.

It's not critical that you mix one oz two stroke oil with one gallon. A bit more or less won't make a bit of difference for what your doing.

 

@ HAILERS

Or you block it off, Premix, and never even think about problems like these.

 

@ F.C.3.S

Then get dirty and spend more money premixing

 

Pre mix is for those who can't FIX anything at all.

 

^ Im with you on that one.

 

please see post#211 but more importantly read the entire thread as it's been covered before.

Nevermind the fact it's far superior to factory oil metering in regards to chamber lubrication and longevity of not only compression seals but also the irons.

i agree with B. he DOES have experiance on it unlike some other people
He has been doing it for years first -handand i think he should know if it works or not..

 

Hailers, I with you on this. If something isn't working it should be fixed. Thanks for the great instructions.

Thanks to everyone else as well.

 

TCW 2 stroke oil at Walmart, any gas station, etc. Add 1 oz. per gallon of gas.

Needing to do this every time you fill up for gas isn't my definition of "superior", even though it does lube better. Not to mention the horrific consequences if you don't add the 2 stroke when you fill up.

1. Premix for now. Don't forget even once. Heck, if it were me I'd add regular motor oil before driving to get the 2 stroke oil.
2. Verify that there really is a problem using a Haynes manual/FSM/etc.
3. Fix problem.

 

I never get dirty when I put in TCW3. Wtf?

And costing more money to premix?

OOOOooooooooo 4$ more on 100litres. I'm freakin broke.

 

thx!
