Re: fuel pump

Rick if the existing fuel side is working, you can use that pump until it dies. really simple.


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.


when it dies you can replace with your choice.

Re: fuel pump

tashasdaddy ,
i looked up the pump number you gave me 0385784 and it said number changed ,,

0438559 Fuel Pump

Number changed from 0385784, 0395712, 0388555, 0398385, 0383765 ans 0433390

and i looked at the picture of it , i expected it to look differnt of course but it looks really small and i can't see any wire hook up's .. of course they could be hidden , my fear is ordering the wrong one , the orignal pump had three wire going to it , i assume two for power one for alarm ?

as allways any help would be great thanks ,, Rick
