A note about the oil metering pumps. I believe that they are the little
Mikuni pumps. If so, my experience is that they do not require any
significant pressure head. Gravity feed with about a 6" head will
suffice. These are the same type of devices that were used on two stroke
motorcycles in the 70's.

It's possible that some modification was made to the Mazda application
to handle the high pressure, which should be checked out.
