Perry,
I asked the question as a safety issue as the metering pumps I am most familar with are the early 12A-13B versions that are spring loaded closed if my memory does not fail me. I just presumed you were useing an early pump. Perhaps I need to refresh my memory and take another look at one of my pumps.

Kelly, my rusty brain cells are sparking back to life. I think you are right. My thinking at the time was, my primary apex lube will be 2 stroke mix. But I left the injectors in place at the "minimum" setting as just a backup. Plus I like the idea of placing oil directly on the apex seal where it's used. I am religious about putting the two-stroke oil in the gas, even when travelling where it's more of a pain.
The oil will still flow at the minimum setting, but it's probably not enough if that is your only apex lube source.
Thanks for correcting me on this.
Perry
