Troubleshooting & FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this fits my engine?
A: Check your engine's model, horsepower, and year against the "Compatible Engine Models" table. This kit is specifically for Johnson/Evinrude V4 and V6 90° engines from 1985–2001. Pay close attention to the notes for your model, particularly regarding bracket modifications for V6 engines.
Q: Is it necessary to cut the bracket for my V6 engine?
A: Yes, for most V6 applications, a small section of the mounting bracket must be cut for a correct fit. This is a required and standard modification for this replacement part and will not compromise the bracket's integrity once the pump is securely mounted. V4 models do not require this modification.
Q: What are the signs my old VRO pump is failing?
A: Common symptoms of a failing fuel pump include difficulty starting, stalling at idle, poor acceleration, engine surging, or a general loss of engine performance. You might also hear an unusual whining sound coming from the fuel pump area.
