My remote oil pump stays on. Mechanic said the main tank oil sensor
is bad. Looks like an easy fix...just get a new sensor.

Engine is an 84 model 115 hp Yamaha. I noticed the quick connect
fittings from the sensor to the control unit was disconnected. I
hooked them up and upon turning the key to just the on position, the
buzzer alarm went off. I disconnected the same lead again. I pulled
the main oil sensor part way out of the tank yesterday just to see
what it looked like basically and pushed it back into place. Turned
the key to the on position again and the pump turned on just as
before.



Here is a link to an article I wrote several years ago about the Yamaha oil
transfer system. I hope it can help you.
