Will removing the OMP and running premix eventually clog your fuel pump/injectors and contaminate your fuel filter more quickly? Frankly, I don't trust the OMP, oil injectors, or that flimsy plastic looking oil feed line. Also, please don't say "Run premix with the OMP" cause I don't want to increase my chances of carbon lock and run hella smoke, along with fouling up your exhaust and other things. And if you're still using the OMP, you can't mix as much oil with the gas as you would without the OMP so if the OMP goes you're still screwed even if you did add some magnificant mysterious marvel oil. I'd rather skip the risk and run premix, it's not like I'm ever gonna sell my car

I've never heard anything about it fouling out the pump/injectors or anything of that nature. Premix is a very safe practice, people have been doing it for years, with and without the OMP.

Your injectors will be fine.

What are the chances of the OMP going bad???
Do we have a significant #???
How many engines have gone bad because the OMP stopped working???
Just curious to know.

I've never hear of it. But I still run premix. I'm just **** about these things.

edit: to answer the question posed, your high quality synthetic 2-cycle oils that are made from 100% synthetic base stock have high detergency properties. Combined with the proper additive packages they actully will clean the fuel system and engine.

Thanks Paul, that is exactly my point.
I have never heard of the OMP going bad.
So, eliminating it, just because you think one day it will go bad and your engine will be done, it's just plain Crazy(no pun intended).

Crazy-Jake, don't drive your car because the apex seals are going to wear out, crack and mess the housings and the turbos. Put a BOINGER for engine to prevent this from happening.(this will happen with time, so check your compression)
PS I premix too with MMO

I just like to take precautions and eliminate as many possible dangers as......possible. I've had to pay for one motor already and it's my luck that something stupid like that would happen.

if you don't like the stock flimsy lines

Crazy_Jake

That's awsome!

So if I remove my OMP and lines and go to Valvoline 2cycle, how much should I put in every fill up?

.5 liters? or more?

this would help a lot, since my lines by my omp are leaking, and I'm thinking about taking the dang thing out.

I use MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil). 1oz to 1gl of gas without the OMP.

i actually heard from cam at pettit that he has seen several fc run cars that have failed due to the fc not running the omp properly.

That's a negative, ghostrider. The detergents used in motor oil (and detergent properties of diester synthetics, if used in the base stocks) will only prevent any more deposits from forming in the combustion chamber. They will not clean out your fuel system (the detergents in the fuel will hopefully take care of that), and they will not clean out any deposits that have already formed.

Crazy_Jake

That's my point. How long until some of the FD OMP's start failing out. I don't want to take that chance.

This makes me think about premixing. I don't even think my OMP is even running any oil through those crappy lines.

Crazy_Jake

Oh it is, if your car is still running it is. Your motor would lock up....like mine did, ouch!

Yea its workin ok.

Sounds like the verdict is don't take the baby out if you don't absolutely need to. Death could happen if you do.

Looks like ill have to use new washers to fix my leaking

Series 4 FCs have a poorly designed OMP that is prone to failure. The Series 5 and up are fine.
