Normally you can cap the oil input to the VRO or OMS pumps, and just premix. Is your current fuel pump bad?

VRO conversion w/ pump still working

if the fuel side on your Pump is still working it is very simple. unplug the 2 line harness going to the oil tank, unplug the 3 or 4 wire harness, going to the Vro pump. cut and cap the oil line going into the motor. add oil to fuel tank, mix well, then remove fuel line at top carb, catching gas in a container, pump the fuel line bulb until you get premixed gas to the carb. you can tell as it will change color. put line back on carb, and go boating.

If you use conventional lift pumps, two are required.

Converting an existing VRO or OMS to premix is the cheapest work-around. The gasoline side of the VRO/OMS is repairable with kits, but the oil side and electronics are not; the gasoline side can be maintained as a premix pump virtually indefinitely and it is much more powerful than the lift pump.

There is alsio a VRO/OMS look-alike that is strictly a Pre-Mix pump Part # 5007422
