175 2001 ficht Oil Alarm Comes On

[Joshw]

I've got a 175 2001 Ficht that throws the No Oil alarm after about 2 miles of running. The engine has Oil. After you shut it off, it will let you go another 2 miles or so before it does it again. I just had the ECU rebuilt by DFI. I've pulled some oil lines off from the oil inj. while it was running, but it only squirted a little every little bit. Could this be my Oil Inj., clogged oil line, sensor in oil resevor, ECU issues. I've got the 1.42b software to diagnose but need to get the labtop configured to my software. I mixed my Oil in the tank and ran it back home, did this or could this hurt it?
Just needing a place to start.

Thanks,

Chances are it the a weak oil pump, a kinked or restricted oil feed line, or a faulty oil pressure regulator.

You can remove the pressure sensor from the oil pump and hook up a flex hose and a pressure gauge to compare the readings to the service manual specs.

Do you think it would be ok to run my boat using mixed fuel until I can get the shop to get the parts in?
