I know we beat this topic to death ,but on search I can't find an answer. So experts now is your time to edumacate us. My 87 90 hp erude model E90TLCUR once in awhile will give a no oil alarm. Only happens on start up when idleing or once after an hour use at reg speeds a few mins idle. One pump of the oil bulb or just speeding up the motor will shut it up. Have replaced a couple of lines and clamps and checked the rest, did not use zip tyes or screwdrive clamps. It is a 21 year old pump and after what happened to kenmyfam when he was up at my lake I thought this winter I might put on a new pump as preventive maintance. Maybe the old diaphrams are getting worn. I can find pumps on evil bay for pretty good prices. I would like to keep the oil injection, have had lots of sleds with it...3 now..and I like it. I have premixed fuel for dirt bikes for 40 years starting with Castrol R and have prob used anything you can think of since. I like the oil injection, no muss no fuss lots of oil when you need it , not when you don't. Now on evil bay I can buy a VRO pump with parts numbers that look good for a good price. Only thing is it will not have an alarm hook up for no oil. Anyone done this or know of stuff like this, in other words a pump that will give me oil and fuel mixing but with no alarm. Is this safe so to speak? I have no prob with the oil level alarm, every time I refill my tank I check the oil tank, just a habit from the sleds. My org pump is a 174565 and it superseds through several numbers to 5007423. 174425 is this pumps number and from checking online at Dixie marine it should work. For 125 bucks it would be cheap peace of mind and I could keep my old for a spare in a pinch, fuel side is fine. All right everyone give it too me, I'm in VRO hell......lol....cheers
