the VRO wires on this are not connected, all I've ever done was mix
50/1 myself. Today I took the pump apart again, the diaphragms were
not tightened properly, this time, by turning each side of the pump, I
tightened them right up. I think that may have been the problem!! I
hope so anyway.
I also replaced the lines from the crankcase and to the fuel filter
and pump.
I'll be testing it all tomorrow, if I stil have the problem, it has
to be the tank.
Good luck!!!

Upon re-reading, maybe you can take another look at that?? if all you've
done is disconnect the VRO alarm wires, but left the oil plumbing itself
in place??? that can also be a source of air getting into the fuel delivery.
That's the design issue with the VRO, all that separates the oil from
the fuel is an "O" ring on the plunger, so once that "O" ring leaks then
fuel can back flow into & dilute the oil, or if there is no oil there
(as might be the case with your system) then it will suck air into the fuel.
If the VRO is no longer needed make sure the oil supply line is properly
plugged so it can't deliver air instead of oil.
Apologies for the extra post:-)
