When removing the OMP.....

........ is it ok to leave the oil injectors as they are with no lines attached? Or will they become a vacuum leak?

The line on top of the nozzles are always supplying air to the nozzles and no way they could be defined as a vacuum leak. The air that passes thru them is part and parcel of your idle.

The lines from the nozzles to the OMP would be considered a vaccuum leak if the OMP is not being used as a OMP and left open to atmosphere.

IF the omp is being removed and the injectors left in place just cap the lines that went to the omp (oil lines). It shouldn't take much of anything to blockoff those nipples that the oil lines are on. A dab of RTV or a small cap, or cut the omp line a half inch from the nipple and put a dab of RTV in the line to prevent a leak.

Yeah, if you leave the vac lines off they will be a vacuum leak, but as long as you keep the lines one they are fine to leave.

Well dammit. I was going to put the spider on there but then decided not and just cap it at the manifold. I knew this was going way too easy........ guess I'm taking the manifold back off tomorrow. It must know how much I love hooking up the rear iron/thermowax water hose.....

Quick question. Not to hijack or anything, but what is the function of the OMP and what happens if you remove it? Can it be removed completely?

It injects oil into your intake to lubricate the rotors. If you remove it, you have to premix your gas with 2 stroke engine oil to keep the lubrication, otherwise your motor will seize up.
