you have to also bare in mind that a lot of these oil injection concepts are epa driven designs aimed at exhaust emission issues.I was apprised of this by at least two current dealers of johnson / evinrude.If all oil injection components are working well,all is well. However,it seems that in some applications they are prone to having problems.
