I have a 70 hp 1985 Johnson and am currently trying to fit a VRO pump to it, though I lack the proper do***entation and schematics to do so. Could someone please assist me in my quest.<br /> Than******xx

Re: VRO Johnson

Howdy, cotters. Is this a retrofit or a replacement? In general, putting a VRO system on a 80s OMC is sort of like putting Lucas electrics in an MG. . . inviting trouble. In theory, it is a great idea but in execution it is an unreliable system. If you still have the option of backing out and using premix, I would recommend it. If you have to go forward with it, go to your nearest marine or auto supply shop and get Clymer's shop manual #B736, which covers 48 to 235 OMCs from 1973 to 1989. There is a good section on servicing VRO systems and there are wiring diagrams.<br /><br />Again, ask yourself why hundreds of VRO systems have been removed and the engines run on premix.<br /><br />Good Luck.<br />JB
