First off....I love the vro but this motor didn't come with one. Just picked it up....starts awesome and idles great. 125 on all cylinders. Motor, control box and fuel tank $300Good motors. Just make sure the oil injection has been disconnected. Expensive ignition parts.
Here is the parts breakdown for this motor. No sign of a vro or oil pump.First off that motor came with A VRO from the factory. Second it was a pos 2 pump system that had a high failure rate. Be happy it's gone. The ignition is the big dollar item as lt is crazy expensive. It has a hybrid optical system I believe.
???-----Did you look under fuel system for the mixer unit ?--------Did you look under crankcase to find the oil tank ????-----Not sure what the issue is.----But those all came with an automatic oil mixer from the factory.-----But every one that I have , has had that " mickey mouse" system removed and tossed out.----Every dealer that I know says " take it off off and toss it away as far as you can
So what pumps the oil?It has 2 FUEL PUMPS in the system.-----It does NOT have an oil pump.-----It has an oil mixing unit in the system.
Cool, thanks for the reply. $300 for a power pack is basically the average so nothing there to note. I think it might be a better troller than my 87 30hp but we will see.I have a 2001 Johnson 25hp 3cylinder. Bought it about 10yrs ago. I did have to change the power pack once and it was expensive like 300 I think. Other than that just impeller and plugs. It gets used a couple times a week from may to November. Mostly trolling. I'm pretty sure from 96 to 2001 there all the same Johnson or rudes.
Mine trolls right down. I actually have to give it a little bit of throttle because it's too slow some days. It's on a 14ft lund.Cool, thanks for the reply. $300 for a power pack is basically the average so nothing there to note. I think it might be a better troller than my 87 30hp but we will see.
I have a 16 ft lund that my 30 is on and I am thinking of swapping it out. Do you know if those are both rated at the prop? (HP) again, 87 30hp 96 25hpMine trolls right down. I actually have to give it a little bit of throttle because it's too slow some days. It's on a 14ft lund.
