Hi,<br /><br />I drained the oil tank on a 50D Tohatsu 50 HP motor, then refilled it. I opened the purge screw but the air won't go out of the line. What should I do?<br /><br />Thanks. Bob

I would hook up a small tank of 50-1 mix and run that until you are sure the oiler is working.

Red,<br /><br />I've been burning 50-1 as I don't trust those separate systems. If I find a manual, I'd like to disconnect the wiring to the buzzer and stick to mixing it myself. Thanks. Bob
