Why not take out the oil injection and go with the pre-mixed gas and oil?
Crankcase oil is not optimum for the rotary and does not burn completely,
leading to carbon build-up on the rotors and in high milage engines, uneven
wear in the rotor housing surfaces. Premixing 1:100 2 stroke oil into the gas
will give much more even distribution of oil throughout the combustion chamber
and will burn much cleaner than crankcase oil injected into the trochoid
chamber. Also, you'll save a small amount of weight for the injection pump and
lines, and won't have to worry about the injection lines ever leaking again,
because they won't be there.
That's my opinion, your results may vary.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Oil Leak
Spring may be coming to Northern Michigan, it was
48 degrees today, so I pulled the 13B Tailwind out in the sun and let it warm
up some. I finally got the engine to run, I thought I had it running
well last fall, but it would only run with the cold start switch on and when I
moved the program switch from 0, the engine quit, so must start over with the
programming.
I started it up with the Weber 48 and it
ran fine and I had a chance to find the oil leak, only took about a minute of
running. I'm using the Mazda rotor oilers and one of the lines had a
3/4" split in it right above the valve. Is Mazdatrix the place that has
the SS lines to replace the nylon lines. At first it looked like the
leak was between the windage/motormount plate and the block, as there were 3
cap screws loose in that corner, so I removed them, drilled for safety wire
and reinstalled. The engine had 10.3 hours on it today.
