no offense:
every time I read one of these discussions,i laugh !
why ??
seriously,why would you want to remove the oil injection ?
as long as I've been in this business,20+yrs,i've yet to see an engine fail ,due to the oil injection system.motor failure is often misdiagnosed - detonation,from a lean fuel condition/overloaded situation,is often diagnosed as a failed oil pump - other problems have caused powerhead failures as well...example,overheating,running the motor,while it's overheating...
Johnson/evinrude "vro" pumps,when the diaphragm fails,the oil flows like texas - causing an over oiling situation...
Yamaha/merc - these are a little different - the way old,mid 80's merc had a gear problem,the gear would slip - the alarm would sound,alerting no oil,for a brief shot - this was the symptom...
do the systems fail ? anything mechanical can and will fail,yes,they will fail - but,the alarm system has a check.when the key is turned,the alarm sounds,this is the check - no sound ?? check it out...
the failure of oil injection systems,is like the great ethanol myth - both are old wives tales -like storing a battery on a concrete floor...
do yourself a favor,leave it alone...
