Thread: How To Disconnect Auto Oilier

Can anyone tell me how to unhook the auto oilier on a 2002 40 hp Mercury 2 stroke motor? I haven't had any trouble with it, but it's getting old, and I would feel better about it just mixing it and playing it safe.
I've gone to The Marine Doctor site, but he won't tell you, he just say's carry extra oil....:rolleyes:

Are you sure you want to unhook that ???? You are at that age where you forget to do things like put oil in the gas !!!

Very funny Flabo your a toot, now what was we talking about????

Have you thought about asking your local dealer? I ask mine questions all the time then go home and do the work myself. Also....You might post this over on the main board in the boat mechanics forum ( click here http://www.crappie.com/crappie/mecha...tors-trailers/ )am sure someone over there will give you the answer. And....Slabo does have a good point also, Lol.

If it ain't broke don't dicker with it. How many have you heard of in the last year that has quit werkin? Mines 10 years old and I ain't unhookin it. Plus, ifn you got an enclosed gas tank how you gonna keep the ratio right?

To mix it, I'd just pour oil down the spout first and then the gas. Why wouldn't that work ? Or even pre mix it first and pour it in? That should work to don't you think?

A lot of folks have them unhooked and do just that....pour in oil for X amount of gas then pump that amount of gas in .....its so simple even ES can do it.

You're taking a lot for granted G, just saying.

Mine has a buzzer and a beeper, one for low oil and the other for over heating.
Nanner Puddin ain't good for some folks....:rolleyes:

Pump went out on my 50 Johnson. A mech unhooked mine a couple years ago. From start to finish maybe 5 minutes. Didnt charge a dime. Probably best to let someobdy that's done it before take care of it. My motor is a '97 model.
