Disable VRO?

[cheesegrits]

Been lurking for a while so I finally decided to join in the fun! I recently aquired a 1973 Aquasport 19-6 with a 1986 Johnson 150 GT on it. This is going to be my project for the next few months. I have a question about the VRO system which I don't trust. Is it possible to disable it and just run mix or should I incorporate it into my rebuild? Thanks in advance!

very simple, using the existing pump.

VRO conversion w/ pump still working

if the fuel side on your Pump is still working it is very simple. unplug the 2 line harness going to the oil tank, unplug the 3 or 4 wire harness, going to the Vro pump. cut and cap the oil line going into the motor. add oil to fuel tank, mix well, then remove fuel line at top carb, catching gas in a container, pump the fuel line bulb until you get premixed gas to the carb. you can tell as it will change color. put line back on carb, and go boating.
