OIL
PRESSURE TEST
1) Remove the engine cover and check the engine oil level
2)
Disconnect the oil pressure switch wire connector.
3)
Remove the oil pressure switch and install a commercial-
ly available
PT
1/8" adapter and an oil pressure gauge
that has a scale calibrated
to
a maximum
of
686
-
981
kPa
(7
-
10 kgf/cm2, 99
-
43
psi).
Tighten the adapter
to
the specified torque.
Do
not over-
tighten the adapter
to
avoid damaging the threads of the
crankcase.
TORQUE:

Run
the outboard motor
in
an outboard test tank with the
water at least
4
inches above the antiventilation plate.
Allow the engine
to
warm up
to
normal operating temper-
ature (engine oil temperature 80" C/176"
F).
Engine exhaust contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide gas that can cause unconsciousness and
death.
If
the engine must be running, make sure the area
is
well ventilated.
5)
Measure the oil pressure.
Standard oil pressure:
147
kPa (1.5 kgf/cm2,21.3 psi)
If
the oil pressure is less than the specification, check the
oil pump (section 10) for wear, or oil filter screen and oil
passage for clogged.
6)
Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter.
7)
Protect the threads by applying sealing tape 1.5
to
2
turns or applying the liquid sealant, and tighten the oil
pressure switch to the specified torque using a torque
wrench.
/NOTICE1
Tighten the oil pressure switch
to
the specified torque.
Do
not overtighten
to
avoid damaging the threads of the
crankcase cover.
