I have a 1987 150 ZR2. The oil supply lines from the motor reservoir and the injector pump broke while I was at 5,000 rpm yesterday.
I felt the motor loose power and I heard a faint knock/rattle so I shut it down. The motor wouldn't crank until after sitting for about 5 minutes. Of course I didn't know the oil line was broken until I limped back to the dock (10 minutes at 2,500 rpm.) The the knock/rattle got a little louder but didn't seem to be RPM dependent and we weren't running hot. The rattle sounds like a something is in a cylender. Did I toast the motor runing it without full mixture of oil for that limited amount of time? Can I replace the supply lines and try running it to see if the oil makes the knock go away? I
