Re: fuel injection to premix
If it's Etec, no ... I assume you mean DI, like Ficht or Etec. The reason is that fuel is injected directly into the firing space, so bearings, etc in the ccase and crankshaft area would never see any oil in a DI motor using premix. By the way, the OMC oiling systems were generally very reliable. BTW,I had an '85 Johnson 140 with VRO II, which worked flawlessly for over 800 hours and about 20 years before I sold the boat and motor. Auto oiling systems can fail, but when working, they never "forget" to add oil or add the wrong amount, and have been blamed for many powerhead failures the oiling system clearly had no roll in. There have been way more PH failures due to lean running/dirty carbs than ever were caused by OMC/BRP oiling systems. I keep waiting to hear of someone trying to convert an Etec to premix, with predictable disastrous results!
If the Ficht oiling is anything like Etec, the answer is no. But I don't own a Ficht, either. If you have an oil pump under the hood with a bunch of outlet tubes, no way. Just checked the BRP PL for your motor ... premix ain't happenin for this motor.
