Leaving OMP in and Premix

Is this a bad idea. Ive been reading alot of posts about people premixing so i decidied to experiment. I added about 5 OZ's of TC-W3 to my full tank ( i also have the OMP still installed ) i noticed that the car ran ALOT smoother and i didnt notice any smoke.. I guess my main questions is.... is this a bad idea?!?!?!

You can get too much carbon in the engine if you go overboard, but if you're adding synthetic 2 stroke oil 5 oz to a full tank shouldn't hurt.

I run the stock OMP and also run 1 ounce of premix oil in every 2 gallons of gas.

No smoking, car runs the same as far as I can tell.

i stillhave my OMP, i use one Oz of TCW-3 or however it goes... for ever gallon of gas. its a pretty aggressive mix but it only smokes when its Very cold out... like 40*. most of the time it just gives a puff on cold start up like it should

2 stroke oils these days are designed to be ashless and smokeless cuz the EPA is getting stricter on Outboard motors and PWC regulations. since outboards and PWC are watercooled w/ the lakes and oceanse we ride on, the exhausts are also watercooled. so anything in the exhaust gets bubbled thru the same water our fish live in and we drink. you dont really have to worry about extry 2stroke oil carbone locking your motor. it can only be safer... except on Turbo rotaries. oil actually increases the risk of detonation, so only use whats absolutely necessary. in an NA, use as much as you want... since it lowers the octane rating of your fuel, it makes NA's run better.... trust me
