VRO2 replacement

[georgewhitehurst]

I have a (VJ225TXEIC) 225 hp johnson with black particulate trash in the carb float bowls. I am in the process of carb cleaning but am curious about the source of the debree, specifically the fuel pump. It is a VRO2 pump with the oil input port plugged and no oil reservoir. Is there a non-vro fuel pump available for this motor?

check fuel hoses and primer bulb may be pieces of rubber.
