1985 vro pump replacement 70hp evinrude

[frenchy11]

I read in one of the other posts that I can replace the VRO pump with a regular fuel pump.<br /><br />Does anybody know which model # fuel pump to get?<br /><br />The main gas connection to the VRO pump broke off and a new VRO pump is a little expensive. I would rather premix my gas anyways. <br /><br />thanks

The last regular fuel pump on that horsepower engine was the 1983 model.The fuel pump part number was/is #438559.

thanks for the help, the people at the local evinrude dealer don't seem to have access to that information.

They do have access to that info, it's in the parts books.
