Re: Oil Injection Question
RM58, if your not having any problems w/ it I won't worry about it. Like they say if it not broke don't fix it. But as far as maintanence, sure every year when you winterize your motor drain the oil, spray your prefered corrosion protectant. But as far as any pumps depending on your motor & I'm not sure wich one you have, your oil is injected into the cylinders from a pump that runs off crank pressure. The only way to tell if your pump is not working. 1.) Your oil resevoir stays @ the same level, but I think before you ever noticed this you motor is deep sixed ( dead ). 2. A smoking engine, ( not excessively ) but your normal idle tells you have oil being injected. But other than that, thats all you can do. Just your normal routine maintanence keep good oil in the tank & drain oil during storing. And you should have any problems. After a few years IF you want too & like myself I replace parts every few year even if they are'nt broken. Its called preventative maintanence. But hey I like my motor to last me, lord knows they are'nt cheap. Later & good luck.<br /><br />P.S. Get yourself a manual. That thing is like a boaters bible. It tells you everything. You would be suprised on whats inside one of them. My wife could work on my outboard, they're that detailed.
