Learned something today. Even though I was a student of all things OMC as a kid in the 60s I never knew the 2stroke stern drive had oil injection. Any idea how it worked?

The funny thing is with that convoluted bull**** intermediate housing a velvet drive trans and a direct drive outer would have been so much better..but hey whatever. I've seen less complicated haybines.
