Only way to keep motor running was pumping primer bulb . VRO was disconnected years ago . How do I check fuel pump ?
And NO I don't want the VRO reconnected .

Fuel tank. Is the vent OPEN?

Let me clarify:

If you are running off of remote tanks, make sure the vents are open.

If you have a central (on board tank) make sure the same is true. Is the vent line open and clear?

(If your vent line has a downward "dip" it can fill with water, from condensation, and defeat the venting.)

A quick check, for on board tanks, is to run with with the fuel filler cap off or very loose.

Is the vro pump still on it and are you using it for a fuel pump only ??

VRO is still on , but only using fuel pump. Premixing oil with gas .

If you have no air leaks in the fuel lines the vro fuel side could be bad. Go to Maxrules.com for a repair kit for the fuel side of the vro.
