    omc dura tank leaks

    Bought a used omc dura tank for $30. Put gas into it to wash it out and turned it upside down and noticed gas dripping from a hairline crack on the black plastic fitting where the fuel hose connects. What can I do to repair it cheaply? If it sucks air from there won't my motor run wrong?

    hooking up vro

    I have a j90tlcur 90 hp johnson. I bought it used. The vro oil tank with 2 black wires and oil hose was disconnected. How do I hook it back up and test the alarms so I don't damage the motor. I already bypassed the fuel pump and ran 50:1 directly in the carb bowls and the motor runs good.
