Just wondering how the oil pump works.

[Keith Buchanan]

Have got 50 HP Mariner circa 1989 with remote auto lube reservoir, there is no problem but was wondering if anybody could take the time to explain how the thing works.<br /><br />Regards Keith B...

hello<br />if its the old auto-blend then not very well. if you continue to run it odds are you will buy a powerhead.<br /> good luck and keep posting
