unfortunately i recieved no reply from this forum but i was able to repair the oil injector. it turns out that the ficht oil injector is the exact same as a fuel injector.it is easily disasembled by removing it from the oil manifold by loosening the two bolts holding the oil injector to the manifold. you then put the metal plate that has two holes for a spanner wrench in your vice or you could use a spanner wrench if you have one . then lefty loosey unscrew the retainer plate and gently pull the inner out . you will then see the o rings just replace with new o rings the same size and re ***emble.i was able to repair the leaky injector and re***emble in 30 minutes. i was disgusted with the evinrude technicle help who wouldnt give me any info on the inner workings of a ficht injector they wanted me to spend 600 dollars instead of replacing a 25 cent o ring. i will never own another evinrude -
Not much I can say, I'm just an old boy that likes boat motors. I've only seen about five people even come back and try to help someone since I joined.
I just try to give some ideas that the person with the problem may have missed.Comment

Oil Leak
I am having the same problem with the same motor. Is there a diagram that clearly shows where the O rings are located, I couldnt find it in my manual?Originally posted by corydukart View Postunfortunately i recieved no reply from this forum but i was able to repair the oil injector. it turns out that the ficht oil injector is the exact same as a fuel injector.it is easily disasembled by removing it from the oil manifold by loosening the two bolts holding the oil injector to the manifold. you then put the metal plate that has two holes for a spanner wrench in your vice or you could use a spanner wrench if you have one . then lefty loosey unscrew the retainer plate and gently pull the inner out . you will then see the o rings just replace with new o rings the same size and re ***emble.i was able to repair the leaky injector and re***emble in 30 minutes. i was disgusted with the evinrude technicle help who wouldnt give me any info on the inner workings of a ficht injector they wanted me to spend 600 dollars instead of replacing a 25 cent o ring. i will never own another evinrudeComment
