Default Johnson VRO fuel pump problem


wrote in message
ups.com...
I've narrowed it all down to the pump. After a cleaning, performance
was much better. It was bogging at WOT, but recovering and staying
with a little help from the choke or bulb.


So if anyone could advise... Will a rebuild kit solve the weak pump
problem? The rubber diaphram seemed flimsy and stretched a bit, but
I've never seen a new one either. Otherwise, if I need to get a new
pump all together, will any VRO work? I've read that the newer ones
are better, so if they work I'll go for one.



Here is a link to the VRO story that may help you understand the system.
