I have two Yamaha ox66 (1999) engines on a Glacier Bay. The port engine oil tank is not filling properly. I've cleaned all the connections and replaced the oil strainer, etc.
- when I turn the engine on, the resevoir pumps oil to the engine tank for 30 seconds then stops, the engine tank fills a bit. If you do this 10 times or so, the tank will fill all the way.
- the float switch at the engine works; all three positions are fine (empty/alarm, fill, and full)
- the switch on the back of the motor will not fill the tank
I'm thinking the float switch in the boat resevoir tank is bad? But, I would think it wouldn't pump for the initial 30 seconds if this were the case? Any ideas?
