Well seeing how I don't have much experience with VRO engines at all, I can only phathom a guess just based on an electronics background alone.....so I would have to say that either the VRO requires a signal for a proper pulse width to be applied to an oil injector, or that it simply requires a trigger signal to let it know when to activate, in which case another circuit would signal the actual injection cycle..................that's just a guess, so in no way is it to be misinterpreted by anyone as the actual method.

That's a pretty good guess. The tach signal tells the vro the mtr is running. That way the vro can start working. Learned this in OMC service school when vros first came out. Has nothing to do with crank case pulses in time with the vro.

I just re-read this thread on VROs boobie and it seems to say otherwise.

Scroll down to the "DISTINGUISHING VRO's" section and check the first paragraph.
I don't know, see what you think.

Still, with out that tach signal how does the vro know the mtr is running? If you didn't have a tach signal what would happen?

I think the VRO would still pump oil but the alarm system would be compromised, same with unplugging the VRO completely.
Can't say I've ever tried it though.
