Replace my VRO fuel/oil pump with standard (2000 OMC 40hp)
Posted: Mon Jun 10, 2019 7:09 am
The more time I spend under the hood on my Johnson 40 the less I like the vacuum-driven oil/fuel pump. I've seen discussions of replacing this pump with a standard one, and I've now heard the same thing from 2 different outboard mechanics ("it's not a question of IF it will fail, but WHEN").
I can probably feel my way thru the project, but how do I find the right pump for my motor that came with a different one? There are mounting bosses & a manifold vac port right next to the fuel filter. Will ANY non-VRO pump from a similar year 40-ish hp Johnson work?
