I have an engine problem which started immediately after the VRO was disconnected. I am wondering of the mechanic who did it missed something and having read various threads there are two issues I am wondering about.
First of all the problem I have is that the engine will cut out after the engine has been running for anything between 4 and 10 minutes (and I am therefore of the opinion it is not the fuel pump itself). I have a glass inline fuel filter just before the fuel pump and when primed it is full but slowly the fuel filter will emply out (is the pump not stong enough?). Therefore I assumed it was a fuel starvation problem. I have checked everything from the tank to the engine including changing the fuel/water seperator and bypassing the primer bulb and I did notice an improvement in the length of time the fuel filter stayed full but it is slowly draining away.
Therefore I am wondering if there is something in the engine which is causing the problem. Having read other threads there are two questions.
The first is the wires from the VRO pump were not disconnected (my engine has three wired). However I disconnected it and the problem still exists. What does disconnecting the wires do?
The second is capping the oil input on the VRO. The mechanic capped the oil pipe from the oil resevoir but did not capp it at the vro pump. However when I put my finger over the end there is no difference. Should I still put a small length of fuel hose on and cap it properly.
Any further suggestions?
