I have a 2-stroke Johnson 250hp (yr 2000). The oil light is coming on after about 5 minutes of operation. However, their is plenty of Oil and it appears to be pumping into the engine. How is the oil sensed ? Is there a vacuum hose that provides the indication ? (There is one that runs from bottom of power head and up next to starter, but is not plugged into anyplace on other end)
