I had this motor on the water a couple of days ago and it ran like a top. Today after about five minutes on the water
It showed a No Oil alarm. I shut the engine down for several minutes and restarted and it ran for about 5 minutes and alarmed. This has the VRO2 oil injection system and the engine model #J50VLSIB.
The tank had approx. 3/4 gal of oil. I did notice that a port on top of the tank had a plug that had rotted off so I plugged it. I also pulled the oil line from the motor and it was full. The only thing that I had done since the other day was change the plugs.
When I returned home I replaced the oil in the tank and checked the fittings on top of the oil tank. I have the manual and hope that there may be a easy solution before I take it to the shop.

Thanks,
Lg

Run 50:1 premix until you get the problem fixed. Where was the port on the oil tank you plugged ??
