Vro pump is putting out way too much oil smokes and wont run.
Thick oil comming out of drain on bowls.
Is it ok to premix 50:1 and disconnect oil hose and alarm?
Its old prob. orignial pump.
How much are they new any way (VRO)?

I run an aftermarket fuel pump and bypass the VRO completely in my 115 Turbojet. The VRO is crap, and I simply don't trust it at all.
Yes, I mix the oil and gass directly in the tank. She smokes when first starting, but that goes away. You'll be fine doing that.
VRO pumps are pretty expensive, as even a rebuild kit can set you back about 300 bucks or so.
