'96 Evinrude 90 hp oil system question

[mandoman68]

Hope everyone is doing well. I bought a 96 rude 90 hp. I noticed there is another rubber line coming from the engine. The book says this motor is supposed to have a separate oil line but it dont give details or resevoir location ect.. Dont want to run it til I fully understand this system. Is anyone familiar with this system? Any info would help. Thank you for your time.

Find the oil tank! You just have to look for it (follow the oil line to the tank). And keep it filled with TCW-3 oil.

If it is a V.R.O (Variable Ratio Oiling system) then you will need to use the oil tank. EXCEPT if this ver has been disabled. I just went through this same issue not even 2 days ago

Just look for a standerd marine fuel pump or the VRO pump. If you see a marine fuel pump, then your VRO has been disabled and you need to just premix your gas/oil 50:1...hope this helps

This pic. is of the marine fuel pump that was installed in my Rude 70 to bypass the original VRO pump.

bskye85, just because the VRO (or in this case probably its successor OMS-pump) is there does not mean that the oil-injection is not disconnected. It is possible to run those pumps as fuel-pumps only and use pre-mix. You have to check if the oil-line is disconnected and if the alarm is disconnected. In that case run 50:1 pre-mix.

In any case run 50:1 pre-mix until is has been verified that the VRO/OMS works properly, extra oil won?t hurt the engin, no oil will...

I DID say to inspect if the VRO HAS been DISCONNECTED.....hmm what a harsh response to someone helping someone out with a very similar problem..
Prior to my reply, the only advice this guy had was ..."Find the tank"....sheeesh tryin to help

Re: '96 Evinrude 90 hp oil system question

bskye85, sorry if I sounded harsh, that was not my intention at all. I simply wanted to point out that the VRO-pump does not have to be replaced with the type yours has been replaced with in order for the VRO-system to be non-operable. It would be a bad thing if someone runs teh engine without oil and with a disconnected VRO-pump.

Again, my intention was not to be rude to you, just to add information to the thread (English is not my native language and I realize I came out a bit harsh).

Sorry if I wasted your time your Highness. Then again if we all had oem shop manuals(like me) there would be no need for this web site. What would you do with your precious time then? That's a rhetorical question.

You need to READ more carefully. The stuff below the line is just part of my signature ... not specifically intended for anyone. It appeared from your post that you had no idea what you owned and I was trying to be helpful ...

BTW, this site is not a substitute for a shop manual. There are many 100's of motors from J/E and no one knows all about every one.

Re: '96 Evinrude 90 hp oil system question

Just a couple of points so we don't get confused - there are 2 90 hp motors in 1996. A 90* crossflow and a 60* looper. Neither came from the factory with a VRO but did have the OMS pump. Good system.

The crossflow will run fine with a single old style fuel-only pump but the looper may not. Either motor can run fine by disconnecting the oil side of the pump and premixing but you're giving up a lot as far as warning systems go.

Now back to the original question about a hose. To properly (accurately) answer your question we'd have to know what motor you have and what hose it is you're looking at. Both have recirc lines and primer lines. Both have a 5/16" oil line. The looper has some additional hoses the crossflow doesn't.

And you need to stop being a jerk. Not everyone is an expert at this.the WHOLE purpose of this site is to help each other.A concept you just cant grasp. So far you havent given me ANY useful info so please bother someone else.

Thank you. Sorry if my inexperience annoys some folks.I understand. I think its a cross flow but I will double check. Thanks.
