That reminds me, I need to get mine back from the person I leant it to.

Let us know how you get on.

Does that run off a separate oil tank to the engine oil then, Thomas?

Delivery comes without gasket. So i need to make them by my own. That´s no problem. Seperate oiltank inside filling level probe . The tank suits perfect to the bodyshell from Rx-7 and i prefer filling a full bottle 1Liter Oil every time so i need capacity of 1,5 Liter.

this is a cool mod Thomas, I'd like to do this myself..... seems a much better idea to burn proper 2 stroke oil and run fully synthetic in the sump.... Are you putting a warning light on the dash linked to the level indicator on the oil reservoir? More professional job than just pre-mixing too.

Good stuff. I would take the feed from the bottom though so it's a simple gravity feed. Less chance of drawing air.

Where foes the pump come from? Do you have a link? I've often thought of doing this too, as Ian says burning proper 2T oil is a much better idea that sump oil
