Quick question, I was on Johnson parts page and I noticed that this motor, model # J60TLENE, shows to have a VRO Pump/Tank. Mine does not and I am not the original owner, so this could have been removed. Does anyone know if this was an optional feature on these motors?
Thanks,
TEX

If you are premixing, it was likely removed by the previous owner.

Thanks -guys, yes I am pre-mixing the fuel. I just can't tell where it was located on the motor and where in the boat the oil tank was located. Are there any tell-tale signs on the motor to look for. Is there a specific kit you purchase to remove the VRO pump?
Thanks

The VRO pump is part of the fuel pump. When the VRO is disabled many just leave the VRO pump there as it is just part of the fuel pump.

Its better to pre-mix with these motors anyway it seems.

basically all that is done, when disabling the VRO is: they block the oil live before the pump so it does not suck air. unplug the no oil sensor on the pump, unplug the sensor on the tank, and remove the tank. then just premix fuel. that simple. when the existing vro fuel pump goes bad, they convert to a straight fuel pump. the vro pump is +-$350, straight pump $50.00.

Thanks for your help. I have been running a 1972 Evinrude selectric shift for the last 10 years and this engine is alot different and of course newer. But seems to run very well and has low hours.

Thanks
