VRO on 1989 60 HP Evinrude

[mattsd1313]

Hey guys I have a couple of questions I want to ask you.<br /><br />1. I've got a 89 Evinrude 60 HP three cylinder with a bad VRO. My question is can the VRO pump be replaced with just a regular fuel pump (part number if you have one) if I want to premix my gas. I know you can use the VRO pump itself as a fuel pump except this one is leaking. I figure its cheaper to replace with a regular fuel pump instead of a new VRO (is this right?) Any installation instructions or tips would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />2. Carbs on same motor are leaking fuel. Is this a difficult job to rebuild these?<br /><br />Thanks for reading<br />Matt

The new VRO (OMS) pumps are very reliable... I would recommend installing it.<br /><br />Carbs are very easy on that engine... follow the service manual, you'll be fine.<br /><br />Dont forget to synch and link

Any fuel pump that gives enough flow will work. <br />18-7353 should work fine. <br /><br />Yep, carbs are real easy. Look for parts on this site and follow the manual.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/mall/index.cg...l pump&**********=369077711&*******=701053733
