2000 johnson 115 'no oil" light

[redfish brian]

The no oil light and buzzer comes on after about two minutes of running the engine. I know the motor is getting oil because I marked the level on the oil tank and the amount used was consistant with all my past trips. I put a 50 to 1 ratio in the tank to be safe. It was smoking a lot making me believe i was running double oil. Where is this 'no oil' sensor and is it a part i can buy and replace.<br />Thx for the help,<br />Redfish Brian

Sensor is located within the OMS/Vro pump.Possible failing oil half but uncommon.Try this first.Inspect the oil line from reservoir to inlet pump very close for any even small leaks.Pay particular attention to the hose connections on either side of the clear plastic flow indicator near the inlet side of pump.If all looks dry and leak free,then reprime the oil line as it may have accumulated an air pocket.Prime by disconnecting the oil inlet hose nearest the pump and gently squeeze the oil primer bulb until a solid flow of oil exits from disconnected end.A bit messy if you can't devise catch pan or rag .Once purged ,reconnect the oil inlet hose to pump.Run premix until you can not only verify usage but also to see if the alarm repeats.If so,you may just have a faulty sensor.
