New to the forum today and in search of help/information on my engine.
Bought a Mako 17 last year.
The engine is a 1998 Mariner 115 4 cyl. carb oil injected.
The motor runs extremely well, however it has no audible warning alarm at start-up. I haven't grounded out the temperature sensor or the on-engine oil level sensor to see if it really works-maybe tomorrow night if it stops raining.
From what I have read around the web this motor may or may not have an oil control module. The motor serial number tag is unreadable and I cannot find the serial number on the block either.
I have a repair manual (not a factory book) but it does not give a location for the module, nor does it say it might not have one. Some one told me it is on the port side of the engine but the block is clean on that side. Could it be located on the starboard side under the oil tank? (if it has one?) I have not had the time to take off the tank and or trace the wiring.
It drives me nuts when any system is down or has been disabled-it was put there for a reason.
I may be jumping the gun and it may be fine but it seems to me that it should sound off when the engine is started, as a self test.
Any help in locating the module or any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
