VRO/ Fuel pump, oil backing down in fuel line, 95 130 hp Johnson

[stratos275xl]

Hello,
I have a 1995 130 hp Johnson outboard. I am having an issue that when the motor sits for a period of time(usually one day or longer), the 2 cycle oil is backing down in the fuel line. To clear it i have to disconnect the fuel line from the fuel pump and pump out the line. Raw oil is coming out of the fuel line. I guess the pump needs replacing, or is there anything else i can look for?

Thanks

Sounds like a bad check valve in the pump housing. You have to get a new pump, because you can't get the valves.

Welcome to the BBC.

Try this, loosen the oil tank cap when the boat is not in use.....do not forget to tighten it before use, the oil tank only vents air in....not pressure out.

That is a great point. I can try this, this weekend. Thanks for the reply !
