Hi, I was replacing my omc oil injector for a 1999 115hp evinrude
ficht. I noticed the oil return line had a priming bulb on it but had
the direction of the oil to be pumped back to the engine. Is this
normal? Im quite confused by it Thanks Rod 8O



Are you sure it was the return line? There shouldn't be a ball on that line,
only on the feed line, which is the smaller diameter (1/4" I.D.) and comes
out of the black rectangular oil pickup assembly. If you were replaceing the
oil injector because of a NO OIL alarm, the backwards oil primer ball could
have been the culprit. The ball arrow should point towards the oil flow to
the motor. You should also be able to squeeze the ball hard and have oil
come through the return line (5/16" I.D.) at the tank.
