Losing the oiler
Anyone have any insight on the correct/best way to remove the oiler system on my 81 marathon? From what I've read, it sounds like I would be better off without it, and just premix the fuel. I am wondering what parts I can remove and which holes need plugged etc.

Re: Losing the oiler
I removed it all, the linkage, lines, tank and pump mounted on the front of the flywheel. You do need make sure you block the hole on the intake manifold so it doesn't suck air. I used a little sealer and a screw on mine.

Mix your gas 1gal of gas to 1 oz of oil. Thats 128:1. Best thing to do is mix it together in your gas can.

Re: Losing the oiler
I just took the tank off, and the little line that goes to the intake, I just put a screw in there to seal it off. And I left the pump on the front of the motor with no hoses hooked up. Did this on both carts that wasn't already swapped over. I was little concerned about the gas that was in the lines that wasn't pre-mixed. But the motors are still going strong.
