First sign I got of the VRO pump failing was it over oiling. Fuel side could be suspect.

ty,

New VRO is $300-400. Just had identical problem myself. Disconnected oil side and just am using fuel side with 50:1, but I am out of time here in Michigan as the weather's getting cold. Have to put it away for now and over the winter I plan to convert to a regular fuel pump and do away with the VRO totally. Search on here there are a lot of threads on it and in a days time you'll be an expert on it.
