Re: 1986 200hp black max

I had mine do the same thing one time, It was because there was just a bit of air in the oil tank under the cowling. Open the cowling, losten the cap a little on the oil tank thats under there, run the engine untill oil starts to run out around the cap. If it is visably low, pour some in to fill it, then do what I mentioned to make sure you have all the air purged.
