Omp
Ok...I just filled up with gas tonight. Kinda worried, as I don't know if the previous owner was using the OMP or premixing. I removed the air cleaner cover, and didn't see any oil going in where I could see. Is there some other way of knowing if it's working? Keep in mind it's nighttime...so dark, flashlight is my only light ): And I am not completely familiar with where everything is.
So how do I know if it's pumping oil, and how long can I go without it, temporarily if it's NOT getting oil? If not, then I need to premix, and for that I need which oil?
Please help (:

Ok, figured it out a bit. Posted on rx7club.com got 3 replies pretty quick. Pulled air filter cover, had girlfriend rev engine and saw some dripping from 1 tube. Other tube I didn't see dripping. Revved higher, oil dripping faster from 1 tube, 2nd tube dripping slower. If carburetor feeds both rotors, I guess that makes sense...otherwise it looks like one rotor would be getting less oil than the other? Would think a pump would just pump, and splits into 2 tubes equally.
I'll give it a better attempt maybe Monday...at least I have oil, so that's good.

OMP seems to be working properly .
You running a stock carb , or a Holley with rubes in it ? Be careful if your running a Holley and just buy the T's to run it into the carb

Illswyn,
If you want me to look at the car for you I can,im in the TNC area,mins from where you bought the car.
I made a block off plate for the OMP cause they always leak and I want to run premix so I know its getting oil to the rotors.

I'm off Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, pending any plans made by my girlfriend. She's usually good about if I need to do something pertaining to getting/keeping a car running good though.
I'd love to see what a rotary guy has to say about any of it...I feel I'm learning more about cars in general lately, but would rather not make this car too much of a "lesson learned" type thing if I can avoid it. Hence checking the engine at 10pm instead of eating. I eventually found 2 frozen burritos so no, I didn't starve (;
