;)Hi folks, hope all are having a good season filled with lot of fun things to do. I am having a problem with my 1987 Evinrude VRO Modle # E60TLCUC,
SOMEONE TOLD ME THAT I COULD STOP USING THE VOR PUMP. Now the fuel pump has went out and as you know it is very costly, about $400.:rolleyes:
Can I use a Plain fuel pump.;) If I can, what should I use to replace it. I no longer use the VRO any longer. Thanks to all who responds. Humpty.
 
Re: Vro pump

Hopefully someone will jump in here with the smaller regular fuel pump part numbers. In the meantime........

(VRO Pump Conversion To Straight Fuel Pump)
(J. Reeves)
You can convert the VRO pump into a straight fuel pump, eliminating the oil tank and VRO pump warning system, but retain the overheat warning setup (and fuel restriction warning if so equipped) by doing the following:

1 - Cut and plug the oil line at the engine so that the oil side of the VRO pump will not draw air into its system. Trace the wires from the back of the VRO to its rubber plug (electrical plug) and disconnect it.

2 - Trace the two wires from the oil tank to the engine, disconnect those two wires, then remove them and the oil tank.

3 - Mix the 50/1 oil in the proper amount with whatever quantity fuel you have. Disconnect the fuel line at the engine. Pump the fuel primer bulb until fuel exits that hose with the tint of whatever oil you used. Reconnect the fuel hose.

That's it. If you want to test the heat warning system to ease your mind, have the key in the on position, then ground out the tan heat sensor wire that you'll find protruding from the cylinder head. The warning horn should sound off.
 
Re: Vro pump

Thanks for all the feed back on my vor + fuel pump. It is nice to have someone who knows what is going on and not have to go to a mach. and pay those high prices. Thanks for the info. humpty, the old SeaBee from long ago.
