Click on the above link...look it over and for $3.49 it'll save ya a LOT of grief and $$$... Like Therm said, the gears that move the oil in that system are PLASTIC and WILL FAIL in time...when they do, as he said, you just TOASTED yer motor and everything else you did to it just went out the window...not to mention the problem you may encounter by being at sea far from the ramp W/ 3 KIDS when the motor goes "snap-crackle-POP!! Not having to mix oil in is a convenience, no doubt, but the little bottle above makes it a no-brainer and EASY to do...trust us on this one...

i see what you are saying about taking the injection off ...
the only thing i worry about is the engine smoking more when idling or trolling .. doesn't the injection vary the oil amount depending on engine speed? if i pre mix, the amount of oil being burnt is always the same ????

A little smoke won't hurt ya, plus it let's you know without a doubt that it is getting oil to it. Running a semi-synthetic or fully synthetic oil helps with the smokeing as well. It's a small price to pay to have that legendary 2 stroke reliability that they were known for.

you can use the Amsoil 100 to 1 oil, I've used it before with good luck, it may seem expensive, but remeber that you are only using half as much oil. I ran it in my fathers 1 thirsty 5 for a year, but I hated not seeing it smoke, I didn't know if I had put oil in it or not, so I went back to quicksilver

I bought a nice Yamaha and like you I wanted to keep the oil injection, well my third year in it failed with no warning!
I have disconnected all oils systems since!

Yeah, but a lil' smoke is better than a big BOOM!!...a tip to reduce smoke when idling/trolling is to tilt your motor up a bit so the spark-plug end of the cylinders are a lil' above horizontal...that way unburnt oil runs back into the crankcase and doesn't build up at the plug end causing excess smoke and tendency to foul plugs...this really works and like anything else, once you get in the habit of it, it comes automatically...I did it for YEARS w/my old Rude... Good luck either way you decide, but long ago, I decided if I'm runnin' a two-stroke NOT under warranty, the auto-oiler's GOTTA GO!!...my outboard tech said it's the best thing I could done at the time...

anyone care to share an online parts source for the thermostats, water pump, seals, etc that was suggested to be replaced? .. my local dealer is pretty worthless, and online would be easier ..
