    OMS help needed

    Your referring to the optical sensor pickup ...they still had a plain old vro.... Alarm sounding on start up only, means that the horn works.....it does not mean the system works. Learn how to test that all your warning systems are working correctly. Much info on this out there.

    OMS help needed

    What's an OMS pump.....should just be the vro pump. Inexpensive diaphragm flap. Better question is is why didn't the low pressure oil alarm go off. Also, there is a check valve issue with those. Try running it with the oil cap off the oil tank. (Check valve test)

    He just sent me more pictures after he honed it out. Plus these readings. Did a light cleanup with the hone. Cylinders measure right at 3.217 and the spec for .030 over is 3.217 - 3.128. Think I might just hone them a little more and slap some new .030 over pistons in.

    not going very good

    Fuel pump or carb clean/settings not done properly. This assumes compression is acceptable. Full diagnostic of this motor is needed.

    96 evinrude 20 hp runs rough mid range

    Compression is basically no good....not worth doing anything. 4 years ago is a long time. Running the motor not hooked up to the battery ruins the rectifier but I guess your never ran that way. Time for a parts motor with a good power head.

    Engine dies under a load

    Most motors will run good underload because they are ....underload. Your motor is mechanically shot. Rebuild or buy something else. Tough lesson but your in a very large crowd.

    Main Red Plug

    Most of them are control wires....red one is hot, match it. As far as connectors, water proof. Personally, get the stock ones or new pins if you can. Motor look like this? I made a name change!

    Customer advice

    He was buzzing around at 5500 RPMs and I was going to meet him and give him a lower pitch prop....never went to slow mode. I told him to ground the wire going to the overheat switch....he said he did that and nothing happened (no alarm) Stupid is as stupid does. Just loaned him a motor.
