1985 115hp Merc Outboard Oil Pump
Hello All,I recently got my boat out of storage and while looking it over noticed
a very small oil leak in the rubber hose between the integral oil tank
and the oil pump. I have since replaced the line but can't figure out
how to bleed the system of any air. I have the Clymer Shop Manual and
it shows the bleed screw for every other model but not this one. (my
luck) To help, I have uploaded 2 images that may be of assistance. . 1. The drawing of the pump in the manual:

until I am sure oil is getting injected into the system. But I sure
would like to know which is the actual bleed screw. Any help is certainly appreciated. Regards Marty |
