[QUOTE="AjayMike, post: 1185929, member: 40155"] It depends on the manufacturer and how they design their oiling system. Your mid-70's Yamaha will run fine with the oil pump removed and premix. Their system just injected oil into the intake port, and it was carried into the engine by the airstream. Suzukis from the same era are different. Their CCI system fed oil to the magneto side crank bearing. Removing the pump and running premix means the bearing will be starved for oil. We used to remove the oil pump and plug the hole with a homemade plate (I think Yamaha made a cover plate for this purpose at the time.) After all, if the pump runs dry it's going to seize up and that's no good. Mike [/QUOTE]
