Hello Everyone,
I have seen a number of mid '80s 3-cylinder motors for sale where the VRO has been disconnected.
What I heard that the VRO is too expensive to repair, so they just disconnected and returned to premixed oiling.
I am just wondering what is the usual life of a VRO system? Is there anything like that? How does that compare to the usual life of the power head itself (assuming no abuse or gross mistakes). Or in other words, how much life is left in the motor where the VRO has already gone?
Was there ever a spec for those engines that how long it would run? e.g. for 1000 hours? (have seen that for other motors)
Is there a sense to these questions or the life of these components and engines are all over the place?
Thanks, Peter
