    Merc 225 EFI - Oil Draining from output tube

    I just recently bought a used Merc 225 EFI (2000). After getting everything hooked up, I realized there was no oil in the clear output tube that runs from the oil pump to the fuel pump/vapor seperator. I hooked up the fuel line to a tank of premix, just to be safe, and ran the engine for about...
