I don't think a pre-oiler would be a problem. The only caveat would be
that you might need to wait a few seconds after the pre-oiler pump stops
before pressing the starter button. You need the oil pressure to be low
so that the injection system can do its stuff.

to the way I read you explanation this will not work and my mixture at
start will not be risch enough?

three inputs: Manifold pressure (based on throttle position) atmospheric

are very much lower than oil pressure, so a pressure reducer is used to
get the oil pressure into the same sort of range as the other two.

pressure is used to provide automatic enrichment for starting. When you
are starting the engine, oil pressure is zero so extra fuel is supplied.
Once th engine is running, oil pressure comes up and the mixture is
automatically leaned to the correct setting. Think of it as a sort of
automatic choke.
