the motor runs at 50:1 oil, fuel mixture, all you need to do is take the oil pump off and take out the little drive shaft of the oil pump that makes it pump, put it back together, it is the best and easiest way as the pump will just not be pumping, then run with the pre-mix, if you really feel like taking the oil tank out you can plug the pipe from the oil tank into the oil pump, the other hoses you can leave as is ........
