I had an oiling problem which turned out to be the stuck Check Valve going to the Fuel Vapor Separator which completely stopped oil flow. Not seeing any smoke had me mixing till I could figured out the oil deal.
I disassembled the oil flow sensor/filter which effectively destroyed it, but I found it had junk in it. New check valve, new sensor, and new clear oil lines.
The question is: The arrow on the Fig 18 on the parts catalog shows the arrow (which I assume is the flow direction) toward the oil tank? Is this correct? There is no terminal end for the Oil Tank or the Vapor Separator, so only logic tells me where they should terminate, but I could be wrong. It would seem to be going the opposite way of the supply for the oil pump. oil pump<= and =>tank.
There is oil flow, but I am not really sure how Suzuki's sensor would work based on their set up. Upon taking the sensor apart, I saw a screen, a diaphragm and two leads. When the diaphragm is pressed (manually while apart) it would close the circuit (on the dry side of the sensor) with the pink and black wires and the alarm would go off and the motor would shut down. Strange part is the diaphragm would seemingly be pressed with oil pressure form the wet side, not pulled with oil vacuum, so have no idea what the Suzuki guys had in mind. In truth, I am not even sure how this would work on a running motor and when it comes to oil, I am not a faith based boater in thinking that "it will work when called upon". Any ideas?
I have practically disassembled the entire motor, so ask me question if you have any. I seem to know more about the 115-140 than the local Suzuki guys. They cant answer this question.
