VRO System

[snakeskinrug]

Does anyone have any stories of VRO systems going out and screwing up the motor?
I've had a couple of people tell me I should just disconnect it, but I want to make sure
I'm not just buying into collective paranoia.

Thanks.

I've never had a problem with one, I eliminate them and run premix. I have seen engines come in that the VRO malfunctioned and toasted the engine. Usually they work and operate properly, but I woun't take the chance.
