I just bought a 92 tracker with a 40 hp Johnson model #TJ40ELENJ that hasn't been on the water since 2017.Before I start it up I'd like to KNOW if the VRO is working.How can it be tested? Does this have an alarm? Can it be checked?
 
Yes it has an alarm.-----Yes the VRO can be tested for output and alarm function.-------Or the " poor mans test " is to mix your first 2 tanks with a 50:1 mix.----Then mark oil level on your tank.-----Go boating.------When you have emptied those 2 tanks , you see how much oil has to be added to your tank to get back to the reference mark.----Motor may smoke a bit but no mechanical damage will be done!!----My advice is to also install a new water pump impeller on a " new to you motor " --just because it is a smart thing to do.
 
What racerone said. +1... but I finally removed my oil injection and never looked back ...Motor runs great on 50to1 mix...
