OILING SYSTEM TESTS
Oil Injection Pump Function Test
Remove oil distribution hose from fitting at oil dis-
tribution manifold. Do not lose the brass hose sup-
port.
Temporarily install a length of oil hose.
Start the outboard and observe oil flow:
• Oil flows from hose, compare to oil flow at other
distribution fittings
• If one or more fittings fail to flow oil, replace the
oil injection pump assembly.
Reinstall hose into manifold.
IMPORTANT: Make sure hose support is in
hose and hose is fully inserted into manifold.
Refer to Oil Distribution Hoses on p. 173.
Oil Injection Fittings Flow Test
Make sure the oil injection fittings of the cylinder
and crankcase assembly allow fluid to move.
Remove oil distribution hose from oil distribution
manifold.
Use a Syringe, P/N 346936, filled with isopropyl
alcohol to force fluid through hose and fitting.
LOW OIL Sending Unit Test
Remove oil from the oil tank.
Turn the key switch ON. The dash mounted
Engine Monitor system should show a LOW OIL
warning.
Once the warning has been confirmed, refill the oil
tank and start the outboard. The LOW OIL warn-
ing should stop after the oil pump cycles 3 times.
