"Tangles.... The 20 second bee

"Tangles.... The 20 second beep warning will sound off whenever the oil level in the tank drops to approximately the 1/4 full mark. Nothing to be alarmed about. However if you want to do away with the automatic system, do this:

1 - Cut and plug the oil line where it enters the engine so that the oil side of the VRO won't draw air.

2 - Locate the electrical connector (the rubber plug)that leads to the rear portion of the VRO, and disconnect it.

3 - Mix the appropriate amount of oil with your fuel.

4 - Disconnect the fuel line at the engine and pump the primer bulb until you are sure that the oil/fuel mixture is flowing out the end of the fuel line hose, then reconnect that hose to the engine. If the oil is "Blue" the fuel will change to a bluish tint, "Green = greenish tint etc.

NOTE... If you do not do step #4, you will have a certain amount of raw fuel without any lubrication running through your engine. (not a good idea).
