i just bought a 1999 50 ELPT merc 4 stroke and have a question or 2. i currently dont have access to the motor yet, stupid damn snowstorm gave us more snow last week that we had all year. grrrr.
anyways, is there anywhere to get a OWNERS MANUAL for this online? or do i need to buy one?
As for a service manual i will be getting a FSM for sure but if you could tell me what ebay (or wherever) that i would need. i dont understand the naming or guidelines for these manuals. 4 cyl? 4 stroke? bah confusing.
but my major concern is oil... as in my motor is a 50 ELPT, but being a 4 stroke (im unfamiliar with 4strk) is it oil injected? or do the 4 strokes not need this?
i think i know the answer but i want to be sure. (4 stroke does not 'burn' oil like a 2 stroke and therefore doesn't need the oil in the gas or injected, as it operates just like a vehicle's engine...correct??)
thanks
