A little smoke won't hurt ya, plus it let's you know without a doubt that it is getting oil to it. Running a semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil helps with the smokeing as well. It's a small price to pay to have that legendary 2 stroke reliability that they were known for.

you can use the Amsoil 100 to 1 oil, I've used it before with good luck, it may seem expensive, but remeber that you are only using half as much oil. I ran it in my fathers 1 thirsty 5 for a year, but I hated not seeing it smoke, I didn't know if I had put oil in it or not, so I went back to quicksilver

I bought a nice Yamaha and like you I wanted to keep the oil injection, well my third year in it failed with no warning!

I have disconnected all oils systems since!
