So I am ditching the vro pump and getting a fuel pump only and going to 50:1 mix in my gas tank, but I need to know what fuel pump to buy for my 1995 johnson 130hp v4 ? I see several out there but not sure which one to buy. If someone could help me on this I would greatly appreciate it. I rebuild the vro pump but still doesnt work think my housing is warped and cracked.

I would run to the parts box and install a pump like found on a 1966 model 100 HP.

Is that one with or without the pulse line? I am finding a few different types, some have the pulse and others dont, so I dont even know which one to buy !!

Your motor never had a position on the block to mount another style pump.----Therefor you have to use one with a pulse line hose nipple.-----3 ports, fuel in , fuel out, pulse line.

Ok there is a single fuel pump or one that has a double fuel pump from what I read single fuel pumps DO NOT provide sufficient fuel volume to run these motors much over mid-range RPM and I must use a dual-diaphragm fuel pump ...is that correct?

Ok I think I figured it out, the single pumps are for up to 140hp and the double diaphragm pumps are for 150 on up ..I just order me a 3 hole fuel pump hopefully that fixes my problem ..
