Spare, I can surely see your point about non-use contributing to auto-oiler failure...but on the other hand, many of the failures I've seen were on motors that were frequently used and well maintained...the plastic Merc gear Skools refers to above is a good example...and the 1st OMC oiler I saw go down back in the mid-eghties was a 175 hp Johnnie, well maintained and used several times a week...there are SO MANY different ways for theses systems to fail, it lead me to this rule; "if it ain't under warranty, premix the oil"...I would not buy a used motor that I could not disable the auto-oiler on...
