Evinrude VRO questions
I have a 1990 Evinrude 70 HP with the VRO system. It has worked fine until
this summer. The warning horn comes on. The motor is not overheating and seems to be getting oil. When it first started I added oil to the gas and checked the water coming out of the telltale. It is running cool and using oil out of the tank (oil tank is 3/4 full). Anyone have a circuit diagram for this system ? Any ideas of how to trouble shoot it ? Some people have suggested removing the whole VRO system and just mixing oil with the gas. Any suggestions or ideas welcome. Bob. |

Evinrude VRO questions
I removed the cheap plastic oil injection crap from my Mercury 175hp
Sport Jet. I mix the gas at 40:1 and never looked back. I had to build a little pulser to fool the computer into thinking the oil injection shaft was turning to stop all the damned beeping. The motor looks like new inside, even though it has lots of hours on it. 100:1 fuel/oil is NOT lubrication. It's suicide.

Evinrude VRO questions
They work well...when they work. If there is a tiny bubble of air in the
line it will warn. pump the line with oil to flush it out. watch for smoke to sure it is oiling; they can run quite a while without oil before anything becomes apparent. Many engines have been ruined by VRO becasue they pump water as well as oil, keep the tank clean by emptying and flushing in the fall. pump the oil thru until it stops the alar. Finally: premix is much safer... but less convenient. you have to weigh that. rick On Fri, 28 Nov 2003 13:51:37 GMT, Bob wrote: I have a 1990 Evinrude 70 HP with the VRO system.

Junk the VRO stuff. Buy quality synthetic oil and mix at 32:1 ratio.
