Hi, A Healthy and Happy New Year to all.I just purchased a 2000 90 hp Johnson for my 1962 Nauset.I believe that the vro pump is beginning to fail and I would like to remove the vro and replace it with a regular 1980's type fuel pump. Please do not tell me about the vro's virtues.I already have 2 vro motors on my Stamas and they work flawlessly and I am very pleased with them.However due to the costs of a new vro pump and space (for an oil tank) on the Nauset I chose to mix my oil in my gas. I have looked in the Whaler Central archives and found discussions regarding this but no parts #'s of replacement fuel pumps which I could use on my 2000 90 HP motor and be successful.Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Dino
