Two ways postman....read my previous answer to your question and watch the level on the oil reservoir. You can marl the reservoir with hash marks to better see the level drop. If you have installed a new pump, run a tank of fuel mixed 50:1 through the engine along with the VRO. During this time, watch the level in reservoir for usage. This is always a good idea with a new pump. If the level in the reservoir is dropping, go to straight gas in the fuel tank.<br /><br />And as I suggested in my previous post, make sure the alarms work.
