I guess the immediate question is , do need to cap the oil intake to run the engine with 50:1 mix. Was hopin to go fishin tomorrow. Figured I could disable the vro and run 50:1...maybe trouble shoot to see if it is the actual pump that is bad on another day.
yeah, but that may not help with your alarm issue if thats not what is causing it.
