I bought this motor with the oil tank not connected but i can't figure out where the two hoses go on the motor or where they connect to. The motor itself has a small oil tank already on it and i can figure out where to connect it to.

I believe one hose connects to a fitting on the crankcase.-----That hose feeds crankcase pressure to the oil tank.------Oil then flows to the tank on the motor to keep it full as oil is used by the pump.-----caps are to be kept tight.---Also a hose that bleeds pressurre off the system when engine is stopped.-----If you are going to use the oil injection feature it is best to have a dealer check it .---Dealer will do a test of oil pump output too.

Best leave it disconnected and Pre mix. I had a very expensive disaster with a mid 90's 200 Merc !
