BLUF: How do I bleed the oil injection system on my Yamaha 60tlrc 2 stroke?
I was planning to go fishing and was topping off my oil injection system. I grabbed the Yamalube and started to pour when I realized it was the gear case oil so much heavier. It wasn’t much but I thought it best to dump the oil reservoir. I did this by pulling the oil lever sensor and dumping. Also disconnected a hose from the bottom and let it drain. Got most of the oil out. Figure any residue won’t hurt anything.
This ended up being a good thing as I discovered the throttle linkage clip was split. Temporarily used a zip tie to hold it together and put everything back together.
The engine will crank but won’t fire. Is there a reason something that could cause this? Flooding maybe?
During the troubleshooting I realized I need to bleed the system, my service manual says to do this but doesn’t provide instructions on how? Online tutorials say there is a screw but my oil injection pump doesn’t have a bleed screw on the side. There are two screws on top for the bracket that the return hose is connected to. Do I just unhook the return hose. Google AI says to disconnect the linkage, run the engine off a reserve tank, and max out the oil pump. Unfortunately, the links they provide don’t reflect that direction. Is this correct for a pump with no bleeder screws.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
