VRO disconnect, fuel pressure problem!

[felix_antoine]

Hey guys, <br /><br />I have a Johnson 1989 150hp and this summer i decided to disconnect the VRO system. After that I had some problem with the fuel pressure(I think). When I'm on idle,it's ok but when I go over 30 mph, I have to squezze the "hand pump", If not, the motor goes off...<br /><br />I've check all of my connection and I have the same problem. <br /><br />The problem is that before I disconnect my VRO, the fuel pressure was ok...so I dont think the main problem is my fuel line.<br /><br />So if you find a clue about it, tell me please!<br /><br />could it be the plug I put in the input of the VRO?? <br /><br />I don't have anymore fun to ride a 150hp like a 9.9hp <br /><br />p.s I know it's a topic that always come back, but I have'nt solve my problem <br /><br />thx <br />Félix

I would first suspect the plug on the oil input to the pump, Felix.<br /><br />If it is leaky the pump will be pumping air into the fuel feed to the carbs.<br /><br />Good luck.

Ok I found the problem!!<br />I was the checkvalve in the front (gaz tank)<br />It was blocked wish dust...so the fuel pump couln't do it job at 100%<br /><br />I'm really happy!<br /><br />thx JB
