Disconntected thermal sensor- still buzzing<br />Disconnected the oil res. sensor- still buzzing<br /><br />Disconnected the VRO pump, it went quiet.<br /><br />IS it as simple to disconnect the vro,<br />reomove VRO pump,<br />connect the gas line directly to the intake on the engine side of the VRO, and MIX the gas?<br /><br />Basically removing the VRO/oil injection?<br /><br />HELP

(VRO Pump Conversion To Straight Fuel Pump)<br />(J. Reeves)<br /><br />You can convert the VRO pump into a straight fuel pump, eliminating the oil tank and VRO pump warning system, but retain the overheat warning setup by doing the following:<br /><br />1 - Cut and plug the oil line at the engine so that the oil side of the VRO pump will not draw air into its system. Trace the wires from the back of the VRO to its rubber plug (electrical plug) and disconnect it.<br /><br />2 - Trace the two wires from the oil tank to the engine, disconnect those two wires, then remove them and the oil tank.<br /><br />3 - Mix the 50/1 oil in the proper amount with whatever quanity fuel you have. Disconnect the fuel line at the engine. Pump the fuel primer bulb until fuel exits that hose with the tint of whatever oil you used. Reconnect the fuel hose.<br /><br />That's it. If you want to test the heat warning system to ease your mind, have the key in the on position, then ground out the tan heat sensor wire that you'll find protruding from the cylinder head. The warning horn should sound off.

YIPPPEEEE<br />I bypassed the VRO pump per the instuctions. <br /><br />I ran a heavy on the oil- about a 35:1 just to satisify my paranoid side.<br /><br />I just got back from a run on the arkansas river in front of the infamous Klinton Library here in Little Rock.<br /><br />In the words of Joe Dirt- DANG<br /><br />Hole shot- best its been<br />top end- best its been<br />idle- better<br /><br />I would recommend bypass of the VRO to anyone with a inkling of problem from it.......<br /><br />Thanks
