i just assebmled the Taz "stage 3" kit on my spree, and am very near the point where it's time to fire it up. all i need to do is sort out my oiling system.
so i searched and found that a lot of people say to disable the factory pump, and just run straight up premix. i've somehow got myself convinced that i should just screw another barb in the CT manifold, run the stock oiler, AND a little pre-mix on top of it. seems a little more logical than destroying a perfectly good oil pump.
thanks in advance

Re: oil pump/BBK question
Some have mentioned tying the pump open as well.

All that tying the pump wide open is oils the * out of it at lower RPM.ragtop89 wrote:Some have mentioned tying the pump open as well.

Re: oil pump/BBK question
Speaking of pre-mix, did you get your 24mm carb on your NH80 yet bear? Wondering what mix you had to run.
Re: oil pump/BBK question
No, the scooter is in my shop and the parts are there but I got kicked back onto restricted duty. I see the doc tomorrow and hope to be released again.
