1985 Johnson 40hp Oil Reservoir & Pump ByPass

[Snowfish]

Engine has External Oil reservoir by the transom. Two lines enter the engine. One for Oil. One for the Gas (separate tank)

There appears to be one pump draws oil from one port and gas from the other. Then it sends the mix to the carbs.

Can I cap off the oil line and still have it pump gas? And not wreck the pump? I'll run pre-mix of course.

I've never liked the early oil injection systems. I removed and bypass the internal oil reservoir on my 96 25hp Evinrude. But this one is a bit different.

You've got to be kidding! I way over think things! Easier yet. No wires on this old girl. Thanks a bunch.
