NY simple but weird question

Hi my name is shane, I was wondering on the fc, what would happen if you premix the gas with oil if the oil drip system still worked? I know that it is unnecessary but guess curious on the subject because I don't know anyone with rotary experience. So I thought I would ask this community!

as insurance,Yes you can
just don't go nuts on the Ratio.
If the OMP is working then 4 oz to a tank is plenty.(usually if the OMP is deleted it is 16oz for 16 gallons)

I use 1/4 oz per gallon with mop. No smoke. Insurance. Plus gives me more reasons to run to the parts store for oil.

Make sure you use 2 stroke oil . Not motor oil.

I've been premixing with a working omp. You can periodically check your engine oil level (as any auto owner should, let alone a rotary guy) to see if you are using oil, indicating that your omp pump is likely working if that's what you're concerned about.
