What is everyone running? Omp? No omp? Both?

I'd like to know what everyone is running for oil injection.
I'm currently not running my omp due to not trusting old oil pump. So I'm premixing. Would it be better to run both omp and premix?

Premix is fine. I do 1 oz per gallon of gas.

tip: throw your premix in before adding gas.

approximate

half a tank of gas figure about 8 gallons, if you want exact ratios add 8 ounces then add 8 gallons. of course you won't wind up with a full tank every time but the more you do it the better you get at it.

i just run premix. omp + premix is a bit overkill. i'd rather just put in 1 ounce of premix per gallon... then worrying about leaking omp lines and a faulty system.

premix is pretty inexpensive... given that a quart of premix costs you about $4.50 but holds 32 ounces... so it's good for 32 gallons of gas

Thank you for the explanation Ben.

The Idemitsu premix is pretty viscous, that's why I throw it in the tank first, and flush it down with 93.
