Lil different ProMax oil injection question...

[h2oskiier30]

OK...I've acquired a 1996 ProMax with less than 100 hours on it that is still running with the oil injection. I will be removing it asap. However, my question is this...

Previous owner wanted to keep the remote oil tank that was mounted in the boat, since he's moving to an OptiMax. I didn't have a problem with this, since I already knew I was removing the oil injection anyway.

Now, I know that proper protocol when removing the oil injection is to run the engine for 10-15 minutes from a premixed tank BEFORE you remove the injection to make sure all the fuel in the engine has oil in it. I guess my question is...can I hook it up to a premixed tank and run it, depending on the reserve tank to provide the oil for it, since it's already been disconnected from the main tank? Or, is there a way to drain the fuel it has in its system, and just hook up a pre-mix tank and run it? Or, is there a better way to do it.

I bought the motor strictly as a backup motor to my 260, and chances are good (hopefully) that it will sit on a stand in my shop until I have to tear the 260 down for refreshing.

The oil system is designed to take oil from the small bottle on the engine even if the transfer from the large tank fails - there is a check valve to allow the level to draw down in the small bottle. The alarm will sound after the level drops a bit.

You will have plenty of time using this small tank on the motor to get pre-mixed fuel into the system.

The gas in the canister better br mixed already or it would be burnt already. The oil and gas mixes as it goes trougt on mercury so if you undo the oilinjection carb are e.f.i. the fuel that is there is mixed

If you don't break a few parts you are just boating, not trying to go fast.
