Author	Topic:   VRO Test
pist2348	posted 03-03-2002 09:12 PM ET (US)      I just bought a 1988 70 hp Johnson. How do I test the VRO? I don't want to run the engine without verification that the VRO is working properly. Also, does anyone manufacture a trim/tilt motor replacement cover. The motor operates fine but looks rusted.

The major cause of VRO failure is air, or vacum, in the oil line. If there is air, the pump will not draw oil. Harpoon Harry, with a face full of TCW-3
