My Sohn OMP adapter is not working!

There should be a continuous flow of oil.
For every two gallons of gas you use, at least an ounce of oil should pass through the MOP - not a 1/2 ounce of oil and a few cc's of air!
No wonder there are engine failures.

Scary. So, there are times when the MOP is not feeding oil at all ?!?

No, No - don't misunderstand me - the existing oil in the lines do not drain!
The air pockets that formed in my lines were only about 1/4-1/2 inch long in each line from the air pocket in the adapter.
I could see these small air pockets moving slowly as the oil is being used - all the while the engine is getting oil. The only time the engine is not getting oil is the last 1/4-1/2 inch of the air finally being pushed out at the end. You see, the air will not work it's way to the top, except with oil usage as the lines are too small and the oil too thick.

Ahh. OK.
On my current setup, I have little 1/2" bubbles in the clear lines that never move at all.
I'm hoping that replacing the MOP completely will solve this and the Sohn adapter is just an improvement, not a solution.
I have concluded that pre-mix is the only thing preserving my motor at this time.

The OMP provides very little pressure, and with the carboning that is notorious in our motors, your injectors themselves may be just be clogged.
I suspect this is impossibly hard, but can the oil injectors be pulled and cleaned - or you could possibly run some really killer cleaner though it (double dose of BG44k?) to get all the carbon out of the combustion chambers and possibly clean them up enough to flow again?

Not true. I've accidentally gone a full fuel tank in my RX-7 with no oil metering and no functioning OMP and the engine still works just fine. I'm not recommending that anyone do this though.

When I installed my other pump and my Sohn adapter and started it up today, the bubbles all marched up the tube very slowly and were replaced completely by oil from the reservoir.
Now there are no bubbles at all and the tubes are clearly filled with oil (the refractiveness of the tubes is completely different now).
So, clearly, my other MOP was not functioning for whatever reason.

No, they were along its full length at uneven intervals.

You must have given it a good hard run to flow enough oil to clear the air pockets so quickly.
