VRO Pump Problem?
Went to the dock Sunday to put the boat in and it would barely start and when it did, it smoked like hell (10 times worse than normal) and would run for 5-10 seconds then bog down and shut off. I pulled the couling off and looked inside and noticed oil running out of the air ports. Not Good! Almost seems like the VRO is sending too much oil to the motor and is over pressurized. The motor is a 1994 Johnson 175 Ocean Runner. It ran fine July 4th and has just been sitting since. Any suggestions? I know I should disconnect the dang thing and probably will if it is found to be the culprit.
