2001 Johnson 90hp 2-stroke, VRO/60 Degree V-4 (the one with the plastic carb bodies)
About 3 months ago my VRO quit on the water and nearly destoryed the motor, I disconnected the VRO and plugged the line. Ran great ever since. Now it seems the fuel pump is going bad. Wont run unless your pumping the ball, and all lines are tight and in like new shape....filters are clean..etc.
I want to remove the whole assembly....VRO/Fuel pump, vapor separator...everything. All I want to keep is te primer. I was reading some threads on here about how you can install a regular pulse pump and that will replace the old system, all the lines and everything will still work.
Question is: This motor doesnt use a pulse through the block, it uses a line out of the intake manifold, so I guess I can mount the new pump on a bracket. Does anyone know the part number the Johnson/Evinrude pump that has the external pulse nipple?
Is there anything else extra I will need, besides a "t" fitting to feed both carb banks off one outlet?
Should I expect to have to tune anything to accomodate for less fuel pressure, or will the pressure change at all?
Figured I can do all this for still a fraction of the price of just the VRO fuel pump, and have a MUCH better system and easier to maintain, after all....im not using the VRO oil pump anyway
Thanks in advance!!!!
