How reliable is the VRO system?

Re: How reliable is the VRO system?

magna 17,<br /><br />Your VRO system had NOTHING to do with your scored cylinder. The VRO system injects oil BEFORE the carburetors. It CANNOT be cylinder selective-sorry.<br /><br />If your mechanic is blaming this on the VRO, fire him. He's an idiot.<br /><br />A one cylinder failure is almost always due to a fouled carburetor, or a stuck ring. Nothing to do with VRO.

Magna17,<br /><br />If you mixed your own gas an oil, then #2 failed and the mechanic said that you ran the motor without oil, what you would you think of him or her? Wouldn't you think that a lack of oil would have ruined the whole motor, not just one cylinder? The VRO is the same way, it premixes the fuel and oil before it is pumped to the carburetors. That is why folks say they never heard a NO OIL alarm, that is because the pump was working fine, but the "mechanic" did not have the knowledge of how it works.<br /><br />Only a Yamaha or Suzuki can have a single cylinder oil failure due to the lubrication system since they use one oil line to each cylinder on their carbureted and HPDI(Yamaha) models.
