Allow me to state the obvious.. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES run that engine without some kind of oil in the gas. If you disable the VRO then you need to run premix. But running without oil, even for a real short time, is the surest, quickest way to turn that engine into a pile of smoking scrap.

There's 50:1 in the tank. Currently, it's running 50:1 plus whatever's left in the VRO system. I wanted to run any remaining oil out of the VRO, but it just keeps coming. I finally had to shut it off. Lucky the EPA didn't show up at my house!

Your V looks awesome, As for the VRO disconnect you need to cut the line about 3 inches down from the pump "oil in" as shown and plug it with a bolt and a hose clamp, Trace the wires from the pump to the harness and disconnect it. If the low oil warning is active you need to disconnect the sender and tape up all wires on mine its was a tan color.
