After many years of faultless running my 115 Yamaha has finally burped a problem.
While running the motor during flush operation the alarm triggered and the low oil light came on , shut down the unit , checked the main oil tank and there was 3/4 of a tank , took the hood off the big one and the oil showed below the bottom sight line.
Checked all over the lines going to the reservoir on the motor from the main oil tank and found no kinks or leaks.
Pulled the electrical connection from the top cap and checked for continuity ................ OK
Put it all back together and started it again to see if the oil would transfer to the motor tank , no go.
Pulled the cap on the small unit gave it enough oil to get over the lower mark by about 2 ins and everything ran well , shut down siphoned out oil until a hair above the mark and ran until the alarm came on again , no oil transfer !!!
Any suggestions ?
