Re: 1998 35hp johnson VRO
You'll need to locate the four wire leads from the vro pump and trace them back to an amphenol plug.Unplug this as it will disable the vro alarms.Secure both loose ends.<br /><br />Now locate the two wires leading from the oil reservoir to the engine compartment and trace them to their plug-in connections and unplug and secure the loose ends.This will disable the low level alarm.<br /><br />Cap off the oil inlet nearest the vro pump as possible .This will minimize the chance of any leakage.Mix 50:1 in fuel tank and with the fuel hose inlet removed from the vro pump,pump primer bulb until you can verify a hint of the TCW3 oil and fuel color present at the inlet of pump.This will prevent a lean oil startup.Reconnect fuel hose,pump up primer bulb and inspect for leaks.<br /><br />Always a good idea that after disconnecting the vro alarms ,to then check the engines overheat sensor circuit for operation.You can do this by locating the tan colored temp sensor lead exiting at the top area of the headcover ,and grounding it to the engine block while the ignition key is in the 'on' position.Alarm should sound.<br /><br />Tan/stripe lead can be grounded by either simply peeling back its plug connector insulating sleeve or by backprobing it with a test lead to ground.
