The motor referenced in the title has a cracked oil pump. I'd like to get rid of the oil pump completely (it's a $400 part) and simply used mixed gas. I've looked at the schematics for the oil pump, fuel pump, and intake manifold. It appears I can remove the oil pump and replace it with the filter cap (#4 on the fuel pump diagram) along with the appropriate screen, gasket and screw. The problem is that the oil pump has a fuel manifold assembly (#10 on oil pump diagram) with 3 hoses coming out of it that go to the carb, primer, and something else (can't find the answer). I think I can replace the fuel manifold assembly with part #'s 32 (tee, fuel pump to carb) and 31 (tee, primer to solenoid) from the Intake Manifold and primer system diagram. Is this possible? The bottom line is I would like help ordering the parts necessary to get rid of the oil pump completely. I just don't want to order parts and have the wrong ones or have to order more. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you for the information but I'm trying to avoid buying a new oil pump. The oil pump has not worked in years so I'm used to pre-mixing the gas. What I need to know is what parts I need to buy to get the motor back to "stock", eliminating the oil pump. I know it can be done but I want to make sure I get all of the right parts. Can you help?

I understand it's the best way. It's also the most expensive way and I don't want to dump almost $400 into a 1986 motor. I think I figured it out myself. All I needed to do was buy about $50 in parts from Boats.net to eliminate the oil pump and go back to the stock engine without the oil pump. All I needed was part #s 0312675, 0313537, 0326031, 0330061, 0330698, 0338879, and 0433518. All I wanted someone to tell me is if I was missing anything so I'll just have to try it out and see what happens.
