Re: vro pump

This was the first pump from these guys I have seen or used. I am impressed. When I installed the pump, I did not prime oil line, I let the pump pickup the oil, and check the alarm at same time. I only got about 3 beeps from the alarm and the pump was pumping oil. The engine is a 70 hp, which is not know for a good idle. I now have it running so slow that you can almost count the rpms with a chalk mark on the flywheel.<br /><br />Thanks Seahorse.

Re: vro pump

If you would like to try and rebuild the pump yourself, go to mastertech marine online and he has the rebuild kits available. That is a new diaphram and gaskets. You can get both sides done for oil and fuel for about 45.00.

Send the pump to them, Thats what I did, you save money and it works great.

Re: vro pump

the vro pump was easy to rebuild but i am still having trouble getting the boat to run full with pushing the primer any suggestions

 

[buckw3]

Re: vro pump

the boat ran fine out of the water the minute i put it in the water it quit was starting but wouldnt go then it quit starting. i noticed when you pump the ball on the gas line it doesn't get pressurized you could hear the gas pumping somewhere around the motor couldn't see it running out anywhere ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated

Re: vro pump

No pressure on the ball sounds like you may have a pinhole in the fuel pump diaphragm, or a tiny leak somewhere in bulb/line assembly.

Re: vro pump
