    Precision Blend Oiling System

    I have a 1988 Yamaha 115 HP precision blend outboard. The remote oil tank (under center console ) is not filling the oil tank on the outboard. I put 12 volts directly to the pump on the remote oil tank. It would not run. Am I right to assume the pump is bad? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
