Mark,

I have been using the OMP from a separate reservoir for almost 300 hrs.&= nbsp; The check valves are connected to the intake between the air filter a= nd the throttle body like they were in the car. The control lever is = connected to the throttle body control so it is full up at full throttle and full down at idle. At altitude, i= f I do not close the throttle just to the point where it starts to decrease= MAP, the two stroke oil will accumulate in the crankcase. When opera= ted this way, the oil consumption is just a little less than 1 oz per gallon of fuel. Locking the control full= open would deliver too much oil for my system.

Is anyone running an oil metering pump (OMP) that can help me figure o= ut how the lines should be connected. I'm planning on using the Mazda= banjo fittings to hook up to the OMP, but what do I do with the check valv= es. Do you connect the check valves to a vacuum source or just block them off? Will the system work prop= erly if I plug the check valves? I plan on locking the lever in the f= ull open position. Will this work for a/c use? I'll be using Ri= chard Sohn's adapter with a 1 gallon reservoir filled with 2-stroke oil.
