1990 Evinrude V4 90 VRO - Oil Buzzer

[scottyd]

Hi,<br />New to boating and new to forums so bear with me. Have recently had the oil warning come on intermittantly when idling or starting. Goes away after a minute. Plenty of oil in the tank and hoses seem ok. I noticed the tank has a crack in the top. Does this need to be under pressure? I have heard of some boaties disconnecting the VRO and premixing ,is this reccomended?<br /><br />Thanks

scottyd,<br /><br />I think your oil injection system is in need of some manintenance.<br /><br />Follow these steps.<br /><br />1. Remove the tank.<br /><br />2. Empty it.<br /><br />3. Flush all the lines with fresh oil.<br /><br />4. Replace the pick up (filter) screen.<br /><br />5. Refill and re-prime.<br /><br />6. Run 50:1 premix (in the main tank) until you verify oil usege from the VRO tank.
