Re: 96 omc johnson 35hp 3 cylinder, primer solenoid bleeder routing
There are only two primer lines one at the top and one at the bottom of the intake manifold The bottom ones is a straight shot from the primer to the manifold the top one goes the same way and then turns upward at the manifold. If you have the OMC service manual look at page 4-45. You will see the top hose in the picture the bottom one is not visiable. The top one does wrap around the recirc hose to keep it out of the way.
First of all, just want to say thanks for the help!
So, here's what I'm up against...there are two brass nipples, for each cylinder(to lubricate the bearrings), six in total, three straight, three 90 deg bend. if you are looking at the engine as it sits in the water, cylinders are horizontal. The one on the bottom of the cylinder wall bottom (for each cylinder)is straight, the top(for each cylinder) is 90deg bend(I believe it is a check valve). I did find some evidance of a tee in the old melted lines....anyway, based on what you are telling me, the first line comes from the bottom of the manifold, to the primer, the top line, must go to one of the three nipples, or tee off to all three, then the other three must all go ????
I haven't been able to find a manual for this engine...but one would think the routing of bleeder lines must be fairly standard for any omc of the era??? But to no avail....
Any further advice would be awesome, and thanks again!
