Everyone,
Do not panic because we do not have an oil injection system
available right now.  I'm pretty sure that I know how to build an
adapter for the stock pump ('86 - '92) using an external
reservoir and a small drive to replace the original drive.  I
have also had a brief discussion with Tracy on this and he also
has a handle on this issue (surprise, huh).  This should not be
to difficult and will happen!  Richard Sohn seems to be testing a
system right now.  I can't say that I'm really interested because

I have mixed gas for years, but find the search for an answer
interesting.  I understand why this is important to some of you.
Heck, if we build it I will probably use oil injection instead of
premix too. Also, if you run out of 2-stroke oil and have to use
motor oil (of whatever flavor), you will not hurt the engine.

Honest, this is not a big deal.  If you will start using 2-stroke
oil again when you get home, the 2-stroke oil has powerful
cleaning additives that will clean up the minor deposits from
short term motor oil use (I've got some empirical evidence of
this that I'll share some other time).  Remember that the street
cars routinely go 100,000 to 150,000 miles using crankcase oil.

Thanks,
Ken Powell
