At a 50:1 ratio you should be close. I don't think it can be adjusted, and I wouldn't want to try. Be happy it is using oil!

Carry an extra gallon of XD50 oil with you. If your warning system is working correctly it will let yo know when to feed it if you don't feel like checking the level manually.

so what do you all think about doing away with the vro pump and going premix and is there any way to check and see how much oil the vro pump is pumping

You can disconnect the oiling side and alarms from the vro pump and use it as a fuel pump only mixing your fuel 50:1. There is a procedure in the OEM factory service manual for checking oil consumption.

I would replace the old VRO with a new one before just disconnecting it.

The factory manual has a procedure for testing the quantity of oil injected over a period of time.
