[QUOTE="kofkorn, post: 359048, member: 7076"] The VRO mixes oil with the gas and pumps it into the carb together. It is very unlikely that you are getting only oil to the carburetor, especially if the motor is kicking over every now and again. The oil you are seeing is a normal discharge that you would get if you were turning over your motor and it wasn't firing. From the sound of what you are describing, I would guess that it is more likely that you are flooding your motor when trying to start it. What is your procedure to start the motor? Make sure that you have the throttle moved forward a little with the idle engaged. I had a similar starting issue with an older motor until I started opening the throttle a little. If you are still having issues, I would seriously consider doing a full teardown of the carb and soak it in some cleaning fluid for a while. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
