VRO fitting replacement

[bennnyjw]

hello i have a 1986 110 hp VRO. Im running a 50:1 ratio. But i recently had a fuel line split ans while accessing it a fitting on the bottom of the VRO pump assembly broke off. Can i order a new fitting? Or something cheap to replace the pump?

If you would like to replace your VRO fuel/oil pump with a simpler "fuel-only" pump, you can find it here:

I have done this and it works great. Note: if you do this, from now you will pre-mix your fuel/oil at 50:1.

There is a spot on the intake manifold to mount a pump directly over the pulse port.----Found just in front of the starter motor.

Exactly what i was looking for, i have already been premixing my fuel.
thank you!

That's a ridiculous amount of money to spend for that pump. What a kit, a hose 4 cable ties and a 58 dollar pump....for 158 plus shipping?

just go to the dealer and ask for a pump from a 88spl circa 1990. It'll be fine

I think it's a 398387 dont quote me. They are like 60 bucks

You have a OMS pump...the fitting is part number 0340186

and about $8

Ok so one last bit of advice needed. I have the replacement pump. It has in, out, and pulse? Do i still use the old plastic T the vro used? Is the long fitting from the block the pulse? Do i plug that off?
Having the two carbs connections and the small plug is throwing me off.
