"Is it common for a VRO pump or a regular fuel pump to get weak and fade over a couple of weeks or would it typically just quit working. It started acting up here and there a few weeks ago and after trying different things like an external gas tank, changing the fuel lines, ball and filters and loosening the cap in case i was experiencing venting trouble i have surrendered to the pump. If someone keeps squeezing the ball it stays running and about 30 seconds after you stop it begins to fade and will eventually stall until you pump the ball up again. Any help would be appreciated. Can i install just a fuel pump. My VRO is disconnected anyway. If so does anyone have one or know the part # .
I would greatly appreciate any help here."
