1995 XR6 150 beep..beep..beep..

[NITRO150]

Beep beep beep beep, as long as the engine is running. I was running full throttle and my oil alarm went off. I immediatly shut er down but haven't solved the problem yet. Oil in both tanks is fine, it's bled from the cap on the reservoir on the motor. I bought a manual and done some testing. Unplugged the two blue wires from the cap and the motion sensor, still alarms. I think I have illiminated the heat sensors by un-grounding them (removing the black from the sensor on the left head) and still alarms. After reading through some of these posts I am wondering if it is the alarm module or the "switch box" and how I could detemine for sure. Thanks in advance for any help

I had the same problem with my 1992 Merc. Blackmax 150. In my case it was the switchbox that was the problem. They can be tested but you need a DVA to check it. Seilermarine in Florida has new switchboxes for $135 shipping included. Thats the best deal I could find. Switch to premixed gas until you figure out the problem. Good luck, Joe.

Have you checked the driven shaft part of the oil pump assy? There's a rotation sensor incorporated in a bushing at the outer end of the shaft. I would also suggest, since you have a shop manual, to check the oil pump trouble shooting section. It gives excellant detail for checking the entire system.<br /><br />Also, until you are totally certain the oiling system is working right, I would add oil to the gas.

Switched to 50:1 pre-mix and ran it for 2 minutes waiting for oil pump to pump oil into a cup............nothing! Pulled the pump and the driven gear and it looks like the plastic oil pump gear that is supposed to be on the crank is wore out. A melted piece of it was on the gear I pulled out + some shavings. Must have just went out because it was smoking when I fired it up, before any of the pre-mix could get in there, and there was oil in the line heading for the gas. Time to set it up for pre-mix from the boat tank I guess, going to need the boat in 1 week. I'll start another topic for that...thanks guys for helping

Pre-mix is one choice. I decided to put an aftermarket electronic pump drive on. This retains the oil alarms, uses the original pump. If your interested, let me know and I'll get you more info.<br /><br />Found the info: Marine Solutions Inc. Electronic Oil Injection ... I bought it (there are several different models) from API Marine Sales in FL 954.938.5111. They are a wholesaler, ao you may have to purchase thru a dealer. I paid ~ $325 about a year ago ... easy install (1 to 2 hours max).

Wildeone,<br />Heck yes I am interested, I sure am not going to bother with trying to repair it (breading down the whole motor) or pay someone prob 1K to do it). I set it up for pre-mix (have to use it over the 4th) but after that I would love to put an electric pump on. I would do it this week if i had the parts!

I think the model you need is EOI-C, which is for carbed models. Note that resistor plugs must be installed (NGK BUZ8H for my motor). <br /><br />I think API Marine normally stocks these units ... they FedExed the one to me ... had it in two days.<br /><br />Good luck!
