Oil injector & Manifold

1999 115 Ficht Evinrude
Model# E115FPLEEN
Serial# G 04712789

Had her warming up before fogging when I noticed oil dripping from the oil injector/manifold(part# 5005256). Scanned all the hoses quick but couldn't find any leaks. Fogged the motor and started looking closer. Detached it from the bracket and pulled a couple hoses to get a better look. All hose connections looked fine with no detectable leaks. I happened to tip it on it's side during the course of looking and oil spilled out from what appeared to be a threaded portion of the unit that separates it from the top portion of the unit that's attached to the injector with two locknuts. Tried turning it to see if the threaded portion was loose, but it felt solidly in place. I can't figure out what compromised the unit to drip oil like it was.

Did a search to see if there was a gasket that could be replaced on it, but going through the parts list I see it's sold as one unit. A pricy one at that! Oil injector is motors original. I guess my question is: Is this a part I can attempt to replace myself? Save for detaching a few more hoses, I had it partially removed anyway checking it out. My boat shop went bankrupt over a year ago or I'd run it there in the spring. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/mad.gif

Thanks!

If the injector develops a leak internally then the oil will leak at the weakest part of the injector body. I had one that leaked through the electrical connection. If you can determine that it is for sure a problem with the injector then these guys can repair them. http://www.dfitechnologies.com/

It is most likely an o'ring inside the injector leaking. Have your dealer contact Evinrude tech service. They may be able to supply an o'ring to correct the issue.

FSM says it is an "unserviceable part". Sportwin is correct about the o'ring. Had same issue at the end of last season and the dealer couldn't get it to stop leaking even with replacing the o'ring. Try the o'ring first. You can replace the injector/manifold yourself. Just make sure you re-prime the oil system to get all of the air out.
