Oil injector issue;
I noticed the rubber hose and hand pressure pump (1 gallon tank in boat going to the motor is very hard to squeeze. anyway I cleaned up the old hose and pump and disconnected the quick connect, it released the pressure. Yes, it was under high pressure. I cleaned it up, it looked OK, and it felt good and worked normal. I took the boat to the lake and the emergency signal (key switch) beeper goes off several times (oil injector light ) .
I squeezed the pump several times, tried again, still getting beeper. Finally a big boy friend got both hands and squeezed really hard, it made the beeper go off, not other problems or beeper that day on the water. I checked/inspected the boat motor after pulling out and noticed black oil dripping down the motor cowling and spreed over or above the lower unit.
So, I'm thinking the oil injector is not working good or clogged up. I don't really know how it works, does each carb. have an injector that sprays and mixes with gasoline right before it burns? What normally stops working on the oil injector system.
Thanks Greg
