I need help. I removed the oil tank from my boat so I could premix. I also removed the two wires from the oil tank. Which wires do I remove to stop the low oil alarm . Any and all help would be great thanks.

VRO conversion w/ pump still working

if the fuel side on your Pump is still working it is very simple. unplug the 2 line harness going to the oil tank, unplug the 3 or 4 wire harness, going to the Vro pump. cut and cap the oil line going into the motor. add oil to fuel tank, mix well, then remove fuel line at top carb, catching gas in a container, pump the fuel line bulb until you get premixed gas to the carb. you can tell as it will change color. put line back on carb, and go boating.

If you could please answer one more ? I went out to unplug the wires to the vro pump and cant find them. Is the vro pump the one by the carbs with the lines going to the carbs or does it look like a fuel pump at the back of the engine? which wires exactly should I unplug? thanks
