New to the forum, looking for help. I have a 1988 Mariner 30 HP oil injected, i want to eliminate the oil injection unit...Easiest way????
 
per galamb:
Easiest way to bypass the oil pump is with a bit of tubing. Simply connect the oil pump "in" and the oil pump "out" fittings with the tube. If you fill the tube with oil the pump will happily pump the oil through itself forever. Don't forget to plug the fitting where it used to feed the fuel pump, then mix your gas 50:1.

You can remove the oil resevoir if you so choose. You can also pull the oil pump out completely and remove the drive gear that extends into the block, but you must cover the hole that is left. On that particular model you may or may not be able to get a plate to cover it (the hole where the pump was) from Merc - alternately, you could fashion something up yourself (leaving the pump in place is usually the easiest option).
