Re: fuel pump ????

VRO conversion w/ pump still working

if the fuel side on your Pump is still working it is very simple. unplug the 2 line harness going to the oil tank, unplug the 3 or 4 wire harness, going to the Vro pump. cut and cap the oil line going into the motor. add oil to fuel tank, mix well, then remove fuel line at top carb, catching gas in a container, pump the fuel line bulb until you get premixed gas to the carb. you can tell as it will change color. put line back on carb, and go boating.


your motor is also equiped with the bosses to use a block mounted premix pump, it the existing VRO fuel side does not work. better than rebuilding fuel side of vro. http://www.iboats.com/Sierra_18_735...3958477--**********.736121362--view_id.174141
