I use the OMP and a rotary aviation adapter to run 2 stroke as well. Why bother with the tank? What kind of decelerating do you do? The pedal on the right makes you go fast. The middle pedal is just a suggestion you don't have to use it lol!!!

If your carbed then specific gravity probably won't apply but most people are fuel injected and do that which makes no sense. I think it's a hold over from the carbed days.

Have you ever run across any info involving rotary's and de-octaning fuel due to oil? I haven't yet but it can make or break a piston motor. Poor little pistons always trying to explode.....that's cute lol! I do know it's really hard to get detonation on NA Rotaries so maybe the oil de-octaning just falls in the category and does hardly ever occur.

How about hp tests? I wonder at what point you lose hp due to exsessive oil? It probably has never been tested for.

LOL, downshifting and any other closed throttle condition where the RPMs are still above idle, very minimal wear (if any) but its just a concern I have. I dont race BTW, just a very spirited driver

Poor little pistons always trying to explode.....that's cute lol! I'd say if any probably very minimal but I'm curious to know as well.

I'd say as long as the ratio isn't as high as a WeedEater's 40:1 it would go unnoticed
