Hey guys, thanks for the info now that I know it is possible,like I said this is a 1990 model evinrude 150 the fuel pump that is on it is pulse driven if I do away with that pump and switch it over to a electric pump do I plug the pulse line off and If I plug it off will that effect or hurt anything on this engine.

If you plug off the pulse line it will not affect anything. Why don't you replace the VRO pump with just a pulse type pump used on engines that don't use a VRO pump?

DON'T even think about an electric fuel pump. To much of a fire hazard as this issue has been discussed many times on this forum.

If you have a good Evinrude dlr have him check service bulletin # 2237. Contains info on rebuild kits for vro's.
