johnson w/ VRO

[medic2051]

Year 2000 johnson 50 (J50PLSSM)with VRO that is a new motor to me. I'm used to mixing 50:1 by hand. Are there benefits to staying with the VRO in terms of motor life span,or is it just a convenience thing. If I stay with mixing my own, how do I modify the motor to disable the VRO function.<br />If i stay with the VRO (not included with my new motor)what do I need to look for when buying one that will work with J50PLSSM model.<br /><br />Thanks!!

Re: johnson w/ VRO

According to the parts manual, the engine should have come with VRO....are you saying that it isn't equipped with VRO? Kind of hard to determine from your post.<br /><br />If it doesn't have the pump, a new one will set you back $280 plus the new fuel line you will need. (I could mix a LOT of gas for that).<br /><br />If the engine does have the pump, keep it. Make sure the alarms work and it will serve you well.

Sorry 'bout the confusion...what I meant to say was I don't have the oil tank and wiring harness. I posted a second time about a particular oil tank and harness, and my question has been answered. Thanks again guys!
