On my 225 excel I could not figure out why I can get this thing to fire and run. Well I drained my oil tank on the engine and it had about 2 parts water to every one part oil. What would cause this ?


I immediately took the plugs out and did a compression tests after spining the engine over a couple times. I am good it seems. I disabled the oil pump and and now going to premix.

I took the little gear out of the oil pump. Now what wires do I need to disable to stop there from being and oil alarm....?

Re: drained my oil tank and found only water

that was operator error, will most likly happen with premix. THE ONLY WAY you got water in the remote tank is a loose deck fill,ya sank it or it poured from your jug to the remote tank.
the transfer pump doesnt care what liquid its transfering just as the engine oil pump doesnt care, its been injecting water into the engine rather than oil.
