I have a 1989 100GT Johnson. It started smoking bad and using too much oil, fouling plugs etc.
I found a test for the VRO at http://www.maxrules.com/graphics/VROpics/VROflowchart.jpg
I have leaking from the motor housing and Intermediate housing when I pressurize to the pulse fitting to 15 psi.
When I removed the housing it looks intact, no cracks. It looks like the diaphragm also seals the housing.
Has anyone experienced this? It just does not look to me that the diaphragm is designed to be a very good seal. I wish the kit was not so expensive, I do not want to buy the repair kit only to find out the new diaphragm does not seal either. and should have just bought a new VRO.
Any experience with this? any advice?
