I have an 89 Evinrude XP 150 TE150SLCEM that has had the VRO system removed and a regular fuel pump installed (EMP 1399-07359). My question is since the VRO system has been removed and the fuel pump is ran off of the larger vacuum port on the bottom of the engine, can I bypass the vacuum switch (pictured)? All of the fuel lines have been replaced but they are kinking really bad in multiple spots - I could avoid the kinking of one hose if I could bypass the vacuum switch...
I just didn't know if the vacuum switch is actually doing anything since the VRO system has been completely removed.
Thanks for any help.
