That's the way I thought it worked, but maybe my memory is faulty, it's been
over a year since I did that mod. I think it will still flow some oil even
in the "full off" throttle position on the metering pump. Since I also add
two-stroke to the oil, it isn't really an issue for me, but if someone is
depending on the oil injection system only, they should definitely verify it
works. My stuff is mostly vintage 1986.
