You would think there would be some way to retrofit a new oil pump onto the flywheel or something. I dont even know if the oil pump is hooked up or not. But i plan to have a premixed 6 gallons of fuel.
I learned from the Johnson to check the steering shaft etc.

a couple months ago I installed an electric oil pump conversion for a 2.5 merc. It uses an electric motor to run the merc mechanical pump. It all fit under the cowl with no real modification to the engine. When I go to work on Monday will try to find the papers for it.
