Re: 1989 johnson 150 VRO
Mike<br /><br />The general view is that the VRO pump is a disaster if it fails. <br /><br />If it's working, it's great, but why take the risk fo the sake of a few seconds premixing fuel.<br /><br />I run a 70 with a VRO pump, and I have persisted with it. So far it has not let me down. I change the oil and reprime every season. I check that oil is at the see through pipe evey trip and thet the prime bulb stays rock hard.I regularly check the horn system. So far so good.<br /><br />Unfortunately the horn wilI only tell you that oil is getting through, not how much.<br /><br />Many people would be a little nervous about running a 10+ year old motor relyin on the VRO.<br /><br />If in doubt. take it off. It is easy to disconnect and run with a premix.<br /><br />I'm going to carry on with my VRO pump as long as I think it is ok.
