Evinrude 250 FIC Outboard OIL HELP!!

[destinee]

Hi All-

I know when dealing with a boat it's easier to bring it in to the shop, but last year we did our own tune up of spark plugs so I thought I would give this one a shot...

We took the boat out last week and after a few miles, it's started shutting down with the "NO OIL" light on. Checked and the oil was full.

We went out to Catalina with no problems, and on the ride back, same thing, still had plenty of oil.

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to check for a kink in the line?

Has anyone had this problem? Trying to do the most we can without spending a lot!!

Thanks a bunch!!

Post your yr and model number.

The oil light came on and you kept going?
Its safer to run it on premix until you fix and verify oil consumption, could just be a short in the sensor wiring or an air leak in the fuel line but ... I wouldn't be taking any long ( or short) runs til its fixed.
