Question on VRO conversion

[FBPirate95]

I'm going to replace my VRO pump with a normal pre-mix pump. The pump I am going to use is:

Part Number: 0388268 this number is listed under a 1975 115 motor on BRP.
Description: PUMP AY,FUEL
Pack Qty: 1
Dimensions: 3.50 x 2.25 x 2.25 (in)
Weight: 0.44 lbs
Equivalent Parts: 0395713,0398338,0432451,0433387,0438556

What I would like to know is am I correct on which ports are what on the following picture?

Do you need to replace your pump?

the oil side of my pump failed a few years ago. The oil line is plugged and we disconnected the wire and now just simply premix the gas. Didn't need to change the pump, and this conversion basically cost nothing.

I did that last summer, and now the pump itself has failed. So instead of spending $400ish on the VRO pump I've gone with the $80 premixer.

Re: Question on VRO conversion

you are incorrect. pulse is the back inlet. pulse &fuel out should be swapped.

Right, tough luck there. My pump is still working fine but I imagine I'll have to do the same as you at some point. Sorry I didn't have an answer for your question.

Just for Newbie future reference, here's the corrected diagram.

This post interests me as I have a 1986 Johnson 110 with the VRO. now I can keep the engine running while squirting fuel into the top carb, but it stops immediately when I stop.

Does this mean I have lost the fuel side of the VRO pump?

I have checked three time the fuel tank has 1/2 a tank of fuel, LOL and the primer bulb will fill the fuel filter on the side of the engine.

Is there a test for the fuel side of the VRO?

Thanks
