Installation Guide

1. Safety First: Disconnect the battery and ensure the engine is cool. Work in a well-ventilated area away from any open flames or sparks.
2. Locate Pump: Identify the old VRO fuel pump, which is externally mounted on the engine block.
3. Disconnect Lines: Carefully label and disconnect the fuel and oil lines connected to the pump. Have rags ready to catch any spillage.
4. Remove Old Pump: Unbolt the old pump and its bracket from the engine block.
5. Bracket Modification (if needed): For V6 Looper and Crossflow models, you may need to cut a small section of the new pump's aluminum bracket to ensure a flush fit. V4 models do not require this modification.
6. Mount New Pump: Secure the new fuel pump and bracket onto the engine block using the provided bolts.
7. Reconnect Lines: Attach the fuel and oil hoses to the correct barbed connectors on the new pump. Secure them with clamps.
8. Prime System: Prime the fuel system according to your engine’s service manual to ensure there is no air in the lines.
9. Final Checks: Reconnect the battery. Start the engine and carefully check for any leaks around the pump and hose connections.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I confirm this kit fits my engine?
First, check the "Compatible Engine Models" table. This kit is for Johnson/Evinrude 90° V4 and V6 engines. V4 models (120-140HP) are a direct fit. Most V6 models (175-275HP) require a minor modification to the mounting bracket, which involves cutting a small section to ensure it sits flush. Always compare the product images to your existing part.

My engine is a V6. What modification is required?
For most 90° V6 Looper and Crossflow engines, a small section of the aluminum mounting bracket must be cut off for proper clearance and fitment. This is a known requirement for these specific engine applications and is detailed in the installation notes.

What are the signs of a failing VRO fuel pump?
Common signs include difficulty starting the engine, poor acceleration, engine stalling at idle or low speeds, and inconsistent fuel delivery. If you notice these symptoms, it may be time to inspect and replace the fuel pump.
