    forgot... you can test tha contacts in tha cap with a continuity test.. connect leads to tha blue and black then move tha float up and down tha shaft... should make and break tha reading.............. make sure tha float moves freely on its own and doesn't stick anywhere....

    2005 Mercury 150hp XR6 Oil Alarm After High Speed

    there are only two sensors that will trigger an oiler alarm when all is workin' as it should, low oil in motor tank and rotation sensor (this one is kinda iffy sometimes) does tha motor tank stay full (or close to it) on its own?.. if it does ya may have a faulty contact in tha cap.. when you...

    1985 Black Max 150 Hp Leaks oil out of reservoir cap. I replaced the cap and still leaking.

    since you have no "history" about this motor then i would also recommend gettin' rid of tha oiler... not knowin' about whether or not its ever been hot or not over tha years is not a good thing....... jmo history of a motor is very important ta know... ya mostly can't go with "tha seller says"...

    to old and forgetful ta argue 'bout it... could be but think tha '84 had a three ram also.. maybe not all but those were some transition years ('83/'84) with trim, block design, chargin' stuff, mounts and such... most internet parts list are no help with pining down what went where and when...

    1985 Black Max 150 Hp Leaks oil out of reservoir cap. I replaced the cap and still leaking.

    QBhoy i gotta disagree with ya on tha oiler.. merc kept tha basic design around for over 21 years so ta me thats not a bad design.. tha main reasons for failures was/is ta poor maintance and/or over heat of tha motor which weakens tha ring gear. so ta me generlizin' tha thing as a whole is not...
