The wiring coming from both the fuel pump and the tank is for warning signals only. They don't have anything to do with pump functioning. Leave them disconnected - but make sure the wires you disconnect them from (inside the cowling) are tied off and/or wrapped in tape so they won't rattle around or ground on something metal (which would cause a false alarm).
I am trying this same conversion on a 1989 vro 60hp. On the page that sells the 18-7353 ... it states that it is for a 20 to 30 hp 1990-2000 engine. Are you sure it will work for a 60hp ??? I bought the 18-7352 by mistake and it will not mount on engine ( no external pulse line ) I want to make sure it will supply enough fuel. Thanks
I replaced the VRO on a 99 Johnson 60hp -3cly. with a Bombardier pump assembly, part# 0438559 ( has seperate nipple for pulse) and it works great. Someone on this forum gave me that part# last year. This pump does a better job of supplying fuel ( mixed by me of course ) than the VRO ever did.
