Suzuki Triples are not designed to run pre-mix. Cranks and cases have to be modified, so get that pump working.

If you premix the oil it will only get in the cylinder. Premix will NOT lubricate your bearings in the crank. Running the motor even for a short time could damage the motor. Just like running a car with no oil in it.
