I removed my old VRO pump and replaced it with the standard engine mounted non VRO pump.
It is a 3 nipple pump, fuel in, fuel out, and the pulse hose. My problem is the boat lacks power unless I pump the primer ball.
it will putt around all day at 3000rpm, but won’t plane unless being pumped.
Theres a boss in the back of this pump that’s spitting air as the motor is running. I’ve seen these pumps mounted to the engine itself and the pulse is fed to the back of this pump that way, so I’m confused.
Do I need the pulse hose installed AND crankcase pressure feeding to the back of this pump to make it pump correctly?
