If that oil pump is a mikuni brand it likely will never fail. It’s the lines themselves that may fail (though that was never really an arctic cat issue) id say you’re making a good move putting the injection back on. Use way less oil too. Be careful/mindful with that M series oil tank and your exhaust routing. If they are close heat tape the shit out of the tank. I heard a story from a guy I know with an m8 from 2007 that he had to replace an oil tank due to the heat from the pipe warping the tank and cap. I think they had an update with a heat shield after that, but that would be bad news especially on the ice/track where I imagine cooling may be difficult?
Thanks for the heads up man! The crossfire/Mseries tank I mentioned ended up not fitting. Interfered with the throttle bodies. I'll show what I ended up doing in another video soon! Heat tape still involved!
@@longtinmotorsports no i was thinkn about yr loadn up at start i use klotz stuff wear great n not loady to me at idle running 40 -1 find it on ebay 46.99 galln juss.sayn.
Have not had an issue since. Funny how things work best when left as they were intended by the manufacturer! 😂 We will be leaving iol injection alone whenever possible from here on out.

What are you running gor oil?
Amsoil Dominator. Don't believe the oil was the issue. Lack of fuel certainly was.
