Product Details
This is a high-quality VRO Replacement Fuel Pump Assembly designed to fit Johnson and Evinrude 60° V4 (90–115HP) and V6 (150–175HP) 2-stroke outboard engines manufactured from 1991–2006. This kit allows you to bypass the original VRO (Variable Ratio Oiling) system, requiring a manual 50:1 fuel/oil premix in the tank.
This assembly provides a direct interchange for Johnson/Evinrude part numbers 438400 and 5004558, as well as TSM Performance 600-156-01-E and Offshore Marine 62-13-860.

Troubleshooting & FAQ
How is this different from the original VRO pump?
This is a VRO conversion or "delete" pump. It simplifies the fuel system by removing the failure-prone variable-ratio oil injection feature. Unlike the OEM pump, it does not mix oil and gas automatically; you are required to manually premix TC-W3 outboard oil with your gasoline at a 50:1 ratio in the fuel tank.
Will this pump fit my specific engine model?
This pump is designed for Johnson and Evinrude 60-degree V4 and V6 outboards made between 1991 and 2006. Please carefully review the "Engine & Model Compatibility" table and cross-reference your OEM part number to ensure a correct fit.
What are the signs my old VRO pump is failing?
Common symptoms of a failing fuel pump include the engine bogging down under acceleration, difficulty starting, sputtering at high speeds, inconsistent RPMs, or a complete failure to start. A compromised VRO can also lead to improper oiling and catastrophic engine damage.
What fuel-to-oil ratio should I use with this pump?
You must use a 50:1 premix ratio. This translates to 2.56 US fluid ounces of TC-W3 rated 2-stroke outboard oil for every 1 US gallon of gasoline.
Is any modification required to install this pump?
No permanent modification is required. The kit is designed for direct replacement. You will simply disconnect and remove your old VRO pump and install this one. The oil tank and lines can be removed or left in place, but they will no longer be functional.
