Thanks for your videos. Just bought a 1978 Johnson 115hp to replace a Force 125hp. The Johnson will be my winter project. My wife asked how I know what to do - the answer is your video's and automotive my knowledge. Thanks again.
Great video again, something that might help that was shown to me years ago was during fuel pump reassembly use the two long fuel pump mounting bolts as guides through there normal holes to assist in lining everything up. Once the other machine screws are installed take the mounting screws out. Good that you explained what the hole in the back of the fuel pump is there for.
Hi Stu, I started to tear down my Evinrude fuel pump with a view to replacing all the gaskets and valves, but my local dealer told me the reco kits were weeks away from arriving in Australia. They also quoted a whole new fuel pump assembly which they were able to order in a couple of days for not that much more money. It also includes the cover, the tiny springs, and caps that aren't included in the kit. So, I took the easy option and got the whole pump which helped me get back onto the water asap. Keep the videos coming!
Mate - I can't thank you enough for making these videos. I'm a first time boat renovator and I've just picked up an old 82 35hp enivrude. This series has already given me the confidence to get in and give it a good cleanout. Slow and steady - and it looks like I've got a few service kits to order! Thanks again!
Thank you, thank you ! I’ve been having problems with my first boat for a year now. A few people looked at it but nothing resolved. I changed 3 fuel pumps. Now I’m sure the pump is good after finding some faults (pinhole in diaphragm, sticky spring) Next is complete cleaning of the carb. Thanks to your video I was able to start and idle no problem. My biggest problem is on the water I can’t go full throttle, only half way. If I push the throttle it stalls. Hopefully the carb cleaning solves this issue. Thanks again. :)
torbjörn petersson I brought it to another mechanic and he cleaned the carb. I changed fuel tank and put in new fuel. New spark plugs. It still has the same issue. Dropped it off today again, he’ll double check the electrical
Jim Banks, I put in new plugs, meassured compression, checked sparks, ignition timing att idle and low speed is ok (can not test att high rpm since apx 2000 rpm is the limit. The pump does pump fuel at idle and low speed, disconnected sensor for overheating - no change. Did fiddle with linkage and tuning the carborettor. Nothing works...Im into changing the pump to eliminate malfunction in that one, replace tha coil, the pump and the CDI-package.
very good video!!!! it's got to where if I see you on dangar I automatically stop and watch the video. I have a 50 hp. evinrude, I drained the gas tank, 10 gals. , all the lines, everything, didn't think about fuel pump, so took it apart cleaned the screen, and wallaa, running better, after 4 yrs. sitting there. thank buddy, ur the best!!!!
Dude!!! Your videos have helped me so much, I am in the process of bringing a non VRO 1995 Evinrude 88 SPL back to life. It has been setting for nearly 10 years, your channel has been so much help in the journey. Thanks so much and keep it up.
Excellent repair by a man who obviously knows what he is doing. VeryRare, since many DIY videos are made by fools, especially marine/car-truck/firearms videos! I have also built (in the triple & quadtriple digits) various engines & components, however, I just bought a new fuel pump for 1977 Evinrude/Johnson on Amazon for $17.29. probably Chinese, but Chinese parts quality have improved over the last few years. Again, this video rebuild explanation is of excellent quality.
Another VERY helpful video. So far I have used your videos to help me rebuild my water pump, carburetor and today, the fuel pump. Great Job! Thanks Again.
Your video is the most clear and concise of any to do w outboard motors of any kind by anyone. BRAVO! Perfect camera image and sound. You are both knowledgeable and easy to follow along with. Great job. I look forward to your next one. Thanx for the professionalism. It's rare these days.
The Nylon Ties that hold the fuel lines onto the fuel pump are made specifically for fuel lines, if you look at them they are made differently than regular Cable Ties, when you tighten them onto the hose, they contact the hose all the way around, I buy mine at a Anchor Marine in East Missoula, Montana, USA, it is used on Johnson and Evinrude Outboards, of which I own one of each. I am an Avid Fan of your channel, keep up the great job.
Stu, you came through for me again! I have a similar John/Rude (J25TESOM) and this is a breakdown I've been looking to do. Thanks in advance! Best marine engine channel on the interwebs!!!
Another great video Stu! I just got a late 90's Tohatsu 25hp that is hard to find a ton of detail on. I've learned so much valuable information from your wonderfully delivered tutorials. Keep em coming. Thanks buddy!
Thanks Matt. I'll try to grab an old Tohatsu one day to do the same series of video on, particularly as all the smaller Mercury motors are made by Tohatsu too.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for an excellent info-packed instruction on the fuel pump rebuild. Did it yesterday and just came back from a test ride... never ran better!!!! Thanks again!
After replacing the VRO twice on my 1988 140hp johnson I installed the pulse type pump about 10 years ago and have not had a problem since. Just have to make sure I bring 2 stroke oil, a measuring cup and my 50-1 mix cheat sheet when I fill it up.
@@fanciscovargas2559 Sorry but I can't remember for sure where I got it. Got it online. Check I-boats, Boats.net, Marine engine.com, Crowley marine or some of the other ones online.
Excellent and informative video. I have this engine and am fixing it as I go. It’s awesome that you have this resource available. Saves 100’s of dollars
Hi Stu, Been busy still working and remodeling our master bathroom which is coming along good. My last day on my temp job assignment working on aircraft is April 24th so will start up more videos then. I did at least hook up the new steering cable on the Starcraft this week and it works great. I just need to clean out the tilt tube and put all back together and make a video to ad to my collection. Oh I'll send a picture to you this week as well with my new Danger shirt. Good ad on the end of the fuel pump video to test for leaks on rebuilds. also a good idea to pull the cover before going to the water as well.
I have a fresh rebuild on a 1995 Johnson 225 Venom I'm in the last part of brake in period. Engine runs good at lower RPM, But when I get over 5,000 rpms the engine starves for fuel . I can pump the primer ball back up and engine runs good again until I reach 5,000 rpms. Carbs have been rebuilt, I installed a new fuel/ oil pump. New primer ball, hoses and fuel filters. All connections are tight. And advice is appreciated. Thanks, Basserron.
Great video Stu. I had a problem getting a tight connection with the small fuel line to the fuel pump. It kept leaking fuel after I rebuilt pump and put a new ziptie on. I used a common ziptie. Mercury makes a rounded head ziptie (the bottom side of square). It helps make an even seal and it solved my leak, just from being an older stretched line. Couldn't find them cheap online so I went to a local shop and he sells big and small sizes 8 cents a piece. I think his were an aftermarket brand. I know you could also use the metal auto ones too. But being close to other lines and being smaller makes them a better option to me. If you can find some give them a try
Hey Jim. I know the ones you are talking about, I really should grab some. I've never really had any trouble in the past with regular ties if the hose is in good shape, but buying a pack of the correct style wouldn't be a bad thing. We have a rack of different size stainless steel hose clamps, but they do need a bit of space around them and I don't find they work on small hoses like the outlet that well.
Stu, that's probably why the OEMs use those little wire hose clamps. I have a few I got from Picknpay one day- I went through and grabbed a heap from radiator over flow hoses, PCV and other low pressure hose clamps. I paid an extra $5 for about 100 of them, a bargain in dollar terms, damn expensive in terms of my labour and driving time.
Great video- the dealer told me that it was difficult to get fuel pump kits since there were too many small parts and springs- which tend to go flying- never to be seen again by human eyes. I get the new pump already assembled.
TY Sir, after a few brisk ( above 4500 rpm ) runs, my 115 would limp back to the ramp on what I assumed 2 cyl, push the key and it would regain but only momentarily, leading me to believe fuel issue, took the screen out of fuel pump and it was 1/3 clogged
does this mix 2-stroke oil with gasoline? if not, could someone point me to a device that could? i'm looking for a way to automatically mix the oil and gasoline at the proper ratio from two separate containers.
The flat sheet partnof my diaphragm had a good 1/4inch hole that caused lots of kaboom and engine flooding! Just replace the fuel pump, fuel hoses, and decarb! These engines runs forever
Thanks for this video! I need to rebuild one kf mine for an 87 johnson 150. I couldnt find one w the red gasket anymore but i found one w a black that says jts for my model, so it is about to ship and your video is going to make it alot more manageable. I attempted to use a cheapo Amazon one until my rebuild kit came, but it cant handle top end. At wot it starts to bogg until i let up
I'm having a hard time with a 90 hp etec. It was operating last season and I went to start it this year and discovered a disentegrated fuel hose I have a picture of it but cannot tell where it connected to could I send you a picture and see if you could advise me where the other end connects ? I'm so desperate for help
Thank you for this and the carb rebuild video. Your presentation and step by step is very professional you are one of a rare breeds that can teach as well as do the job properly!
I HAVE A 70 HP EVINRUDE JOHNSON 1975 JUST GOT A NEW FUEL PUMP FROM AMAZON I THINK A UNIVERSAL ONE BUT MINE HAS 3 HOSES AND THE RUBER CIRLE PIECE YOU DIDNT USE MY QUESTION IS THE BOLT THAT YOU CAN TIGHTING BY HAND WHERE THE MAIN GAS GOES THROUGH CAN YOU TIGHTING TO MUCH AND DO YOU HAVE TO USE THE LAST GASKET YOU PUT ON I HAVE IT CAUSE IT CAME WITH NEW ONE BUT MY OLD ONE DID NOT HAVE IT ON THERE IM HAVING ISSUES KEEPING MY ENGINE RUNNING NOW
Great stuff Stu. Cant believe I gave away a classic mint condition old yammy 15 when all that was wrong was the pump (or so I learnt from your excellent channel). It won't happen again!
Hi Stu,I have a 1999 25hp Johnson,I fitted a new fuel pump,which I am not sure is the correct one. The new one is from China,the part no's seem the same,but the fuel pipe on the outlet on the pump is a bigger dia than the original.The pipe from the engine to the diaphragm is the same.The engine ticks over sweet,but when I accelerate,the engine phut,phuts,and then picks up.I can't get the boat into the water at the moment,so I can't check it under load.I fitted a new inline (clear) fuel filter,which doesn't seem to get much fuel through it. I changed the nipple on the pump for the old one,so that the dia was the same .The reduced size of pipe goes to the primer which is manual with no solenoid.It also goes to the bottom of the bowl. The model number id. is-J25RLEEB. Hope you don't mind me picking your brains, Stan,from Manchester Uk.
Hi Stu, swedish fan here! Im working on A similar motor (evinrude 30hp -92) and I recently rebuilt the carburator. Im wondering about what dimension the different fuel lines have (carb, primer etc) and How to flush and/Or replace them. Would Love get a tutorial on that. It would also be great if you would make a tutorial on How to set the idling speed using the mixture screw and idling screw on the left side of the motor. Having some issues with my sneezing motor! Your videos has helped me alot, keep them coming! Cheers!
Hi Cristoffer, these fuel lines tend to be 6mm inner diameter for smaller outboards and the 8 and 10mm for larger ones. I would be inclined to just replace fuel hoses. This video will give you a few tips on setting the idle (just ignore the vacuum gauge part for a two stroke, the rest is the same) ruclips.net/video/bsHCMJnRY9A/видео.html. Generally if a motor is sneezing it is because either the carbs are out of sync (if there is more than one) or it is running lean (blocked carburettor jets or a vacuum leak).
I have been having full throttle issues. The motor runs fine low speed. Give it full throttle and it acts like its starving for fuel. I noticed that the inline filter is not filling up and that there is only a trickle coming from the tank. I looked at the pump diaphragm and it looks ok but has lost its pliability so I suspect it may be bad. I pump up the primer and it fills the filter but then depletes as the motor runs. I cant see fuel in the filter so I have no idea how it is even running.
Love all your video's I have a 1987 110 evinrude and after did a carburetor rebuilt the motor keeps dying change all the fuel line..new fuel pump...new fuel primer...but every time your press fuel from primer to the motor it runs until burn all the fuel then motor shuts off...prime fuel back into the motor it starts again until fuel burn out....i did everything everyone say on youtube.....any clue would help. Thanks
Thank you so much! helped a great deal. I have a question: When do you open the Core Plugs, those little aluminium caps? how do you open them? how do you seal in the new one? What is the purpose of those Core Plugs?
great stuff, and thanks for sharing. Love the way you explain everything in detail. I have a 2000 Evinrude 9.9 4-stroke outboard, that I have to keep pumping the fuel bladder to keep the motor running when in high throttle, but sitting still in neutral it can run forever. I had a local shop work on it, and they replaced the original fuel pump that was designed to work with the crankshaft, which has a deeper diaphragm with one that is much shallower, but the problem still exist. Any idea on how to repair the fuel pump? I don't seem to be able to get any replacement parts for it. I appreciate it if you could help.
I have a 86 85 hp force and it runs for awhile then stalls if you give the bulb a squeeze it will start back sometimes some times it wont .if it cools some it starts back up. I have a glass filter and theirs always got fuel.should I start with rebuilding the fuel pump?? replaced water pump impeller 2 yrs ago.it acts like it runs hard then falls off like you turn the key off. some times you can save it by squeezing the bulb sometimes you cant
You didn't explain how the engine will act if this fuel pump is having issues, and thus needs a rebuild. How do you test the pump before disassembly? OOPS, you have a diagnostic video called "outboard fuel pumps."
Nicely explained. Would you suggest giving those short fuel lines a quick flush through to get rid of any possible flakes of rubber after being disturbed? I hope you have had a good Easter break .
Hey Ron, for sure, you can never do too much cleaning while something is apart. I always get a bit torn between giving a video a single searchable topic and running through all the things I would do while I was there. I was pleased to see there was no sign of varnish or fuel lining in the pump's mesh. That always gives me a fair bit of confidence they are still fine.
1st, I’m a new subscriber & want to thank you for your tutoring. I’ve learned more from watching your video’s than I learned cumulatively through my trials over the years, so thank you again! I do have a question on the fuel pump though. If there is fuel in the carbs & you spray starter fluid in them or in cylinders, should the engine at least fire or show signs of firing, provided there is spark and everything else is in order? I ask because my 150 will not fire and I suspect fuel pump is part of problem if not the problem.
hello Dangar Marine thanks for all the videos, i have an issue with my 150 evinrude 1983, i think its running too rich and wasting too much gas, but the motr runs good and acelerates perfect, but wasting too much gas, what is the possible issue there?
Hey stu I have a 50 Evinrud and I got a rebuild kit for the fuel pump and I rebuilt it and put it on my boat and fuel was still spraying out please help
I had alot of trouble getting the holes in the gasket and diaphragm to line up because of the presure from the springs on each side. I had to use a feeler gauge on each side to keep the springs from deforming it. Or was I just being to picky ?
thanks for the video, I suspected the pulse pump,,,put a new one,,,,new fuel inlet and outlet hoses, 2 seals...everything becomes hard,,,works for 3 sec....turns off...again manually I pump it up...hard...runs for 3 seconds...carburetor repaired. intake...etc...ultrasound of the bowl...if it works...I remove the supply hose to the carburetor...no fuel...no pulse....johnson 6hp 1969.....
Anyone know the size and thread of the 2 bolts that hold the fuel pump on? Trying to find out so I don't buy every bolt in Ace Hardware. Forgot to mention it's for a 40hp Johnson 1993 model 2 stroke
I believe they are #10-24 x 1 3/4 inch bolts. Which you probably won't find. So just buy ones that are 2 inches long, and cut them down - or add a bunch of washers.
If my fuel pump on my 15 hp 4 stroke Yam became inoperable when I was on the water can I attach the fuel line from the gas tank directly to the carb and squeeze it ever so often to be able to run home?
Thanks for your videos. Just bought a 1978 Johnson 115hp to replace a Force 125hp. The Johnson will be my winter project. My wife asked how I know what to do - the answer is your video's and automotive my knowledge. Thanks again.
One of the best repair videos I have ever seen. Complete and accurate information without any extra stuff.
Great video again, something that might help that was shown to me years ago was during fuel pump reassembly use the two long fuel pump mounting bolts as guides through there normal holes to assist in lining everything up.

Hey Andrew, replacing the whole pump is often a great way to go. Unfortunately in my case though it doesn't make for a very long video. ;)
Good point!

For sure😂😂😂😂
Great stuff Stu. Cant believe I gave away a classic mint condition old yammy 15 when all that was wrong was the pump (or so I learnt from your excellent channel). It won't happen again!
Oh well, live and learn. :)
Love these videos, Oh by the way you already have gas all over your hands from removing the hoses, a little late for the gloves.
These videos are the only outboard vids i watch very easy to understand explained in the way i think know special tool improvise
Lol now were back to NO gloves you are a riot mate.
Well I built mine a little different. Like wrong lol. Thats why it was leaking. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for the video duude!
How often should you rebuild your fuel pump?
Excelente!!! Gracias. Saludos desde Argentina!!!
Excellent and instructive video.
absolutely fantastic video and help - thank you
One of the best video on RUclips !!! Thanks man ! respects from USA.
Interesting to watch and learn how these work. Great video
Thanks Stu as always spot on.
Thanks John!
Great videos as always. Great service you provide
Thanks for telling me how to clean that corrosion
Another excellent video Stu; Thanks again Friend !!!.
Thanks Angelo!
Well done, Stu.
Thanks mate. :)
Great video sir.. very detailed👍
Glad you liked it
I have an evinrude 75 hp year 1977 is going well but runs out of fuel I give it a vla pear and it works well it has to be the pump
Thanks for making these great videos man.
Hi Stu,I have a 1999 25hp Johnson,I fitted a new fuel pump,which I am not sure is the correct one.
The new one is from China,the part no's seem the same,but the fuel pipe on the outlet on the pump is a bigger dia than the original.The pipe from the engine to the diaphragm is the same.The engine ticks over sweet,but when I accelerate,the engine phut,phuts,and then picks up.I can't get the boat into the water at the moment,so I can't check it under load.I fitted a new inline (clear) fuel filter,which doesn't seem to get much fuel through it.
I changed the nipple on the pump for the old one,so that the dia was the same .The reduced size of pipe goes to the primer which is manual with no solenoid.It also goes to the bottom of the bowl.
The model number id. is-J25RLEEB.
Hope you don't mind me picking your brains,
Stan,from Manchester Uk.
Always excellent instruction , thanks.
Very good . I am from buenos aires.
Hi Stu, swedish fan here! Im working on A similar motor (evinrude 30hp -92) and I recently rebuilt the carburator. Im wondering about what dimension the different fuel lines have (carb, primer etc) and How to flush and/Or replace them. Would Love get a tutorial on that. It would also be great if you would make a tutorial on How to set the idling speed using the mixture screw and idling screw on the left side of the motor. Having some issues with my sneezing motor!
Your videos has helped me alot, keep them coming!
Cheers!
Hi Cristoffer, these fuel lines tend to be 6mm inner diameter for smaller outboards and the 8 and 10mm for larger ones. I would be inclined to just replace fuel hoses. This video will give you a few tips on setting the idle (just ignore the vacuum gauge part for a two stroke, the rest is the same) ruclips.net/video/bsHCMJnRY9A/видео.html. Generally if a motor is sneezing it is because either the carbs are out of sync (if there is more than one) or it is running lean (blocked carburettor jets or a vacuum leak).
Awesome video. Very small parts. I see yee we’re enjoying a bundy aye!
Thanks Bob, glad you enjoyed. :)
Thank you for another great video
Thank you very much
You are welcome
Great explanation thank yuou for that, have you ever work in a outboard johnson evinrude motor 90 hp 4 stroke?
I have been having full throttle issues. The motor runs fine low speed. Give it full throttle and it acts like its starving for fuel. I noticed that the inline filter is not filling up and that there is only a trickle coming from the tank. I looked at the pump diaphragm and it looks ok but has lost its pliability so I suspect it may be bad. I pump up the primer and it fills the filter but then depletes as the motor runs. I cant see fuel in the filter so I have no idea how it is even running.
Hey man I got the same thing going right now. Ever figure it out??
I'm interested in knowing to
Similar issue with mine right now.
same problem here with my 1988 Johnson 110hp v4 I’m not gettting enough or no fuel unless if I pump it with an electrical pump I adapted
Same same..
The mind that engineers stuff like this I tell ya...
bem explicado.. top. do Brasil, São Francisco-Mg.
Love all your video's
I have a 1987 110 evinrude and after did a carburetor rebuilt the motor keeps dying change all the fuel line..new fuel pump...new fuel primer...but every time your press fuel from primer to the motor it runs until burn all the fuel then motor shuts off...prime fuel back into the motor it starts again until fuel burn out....i did everything everyone say on youtube.....any clue would help.
Thanks
Thank you so much! helped a great deal. I have a question: When do you open the Core Plugs, those little aluminium caps? how do you open them? how do you seal in the new one? What is the purpose of those Core Plugs?
Great video Stu! Wild Turkey and coke pre-mixed in a bottle??? I need to get down to Australia!! :)
Thanks Ted. I find these premix bottles really save times when you are trying to get out of the house in a rush in the morning. ;)
great help ty
great stuff, and thanks for sharing. Love the way you explain everything in detail.
I have a 2000 Evinrude 9.9 4-stroke outboard, that I have to keep pumping the fuel bladder to keep the motor running when in high throttle, but sitting still in neutral it can run forever.
I had a local shop work on it, and they replaced the original fuel pump that was designed to work with the crankshaft, which has a deeper diaphragm with one that is much shallower, but the problem still exist. Any idea on how to repair the fuel pump? I don't seem to be able to get any replacement parts for it. I appreciate it if you could help.
I have a 86 85 hp force and it runs for awhile then stalls if you give the bulb a squeeze it will start back sometimes some times it wont .if it cools some it starts back up. I have a glass filter and theirs always got fuel.should I start with rebuilding the fuel pump?? replaced water pump impeller 2 yrs ago.it acts like it runs hard then falls off like you turn the key off. some times you can save it by squeezing the bulb sometimes you cant
Thank you very much!
Excellent and informative. Thank you!
You didn't explain how the engine will act if this fuel pump is having issues, and thus needs a rebuild. How do you test the pump before disassembly? OOPS, you have a diagnostic video called "outboard fuel pumps."
Bruce Wagenberg prime the bulb until stiff. You’ll see a leak in the fuel pump. It’ll be obvious
Nicely explained. Would you suggest giving those short fuel lines a quick flush through to get rid of any possible flakes of rubber after being disturbed? I hope you have had a good Easter break .
Hey Ron, for sure, you can never do too much cleaning while something is apart. I always get a bit torn between giving a video a single searchable topic and running through all the things I would do while I was there. I was pleased to see there was no sign of varnish or fuel lining in the pump's mesh. That always gives me a fair bit of confidence they are still fine.
1st, I’m a new subscriber & want to thank you for your tutoring. I’ve learned more from watching your video’s than I learned cumulatively through my trials over the years, so thank you again! I do have a question on the fuel pump though. If there is fuel in the carbs & you spray starter fluid in them or in cylinders, should the engine at least fire or show signs of firing, provided there is spark and everything else is in order? I ask because my 150 will not fire and I suspect fuel pump is part of problem if not the problem.
hello Dangar Marine thanks for all the videos, i have an issue with my 150 evinrude 1983, i think its running too rich and wasting too much gas, but the motr runs good and acelerates perfect, but wasting too much gas, what is the possible issue there?
Could be a carb tuning issue or a problem with the cold-start enrichement system being stuck on, or partially on.
Hello sir what is the difference between the small square fuel pumps and the bigger triangle fuel pumps, Johnson/evinrude
Thanks!
Welcome! Thank you!
The instructions themselves have there own part number also.
Hey stu I have a 50 Evinrud and I got a rebuild kit for the fuel pump and I rebuilt it and put it on my boat and fuel was still spraying out please help
Great! Can you advise on if the aftermarket fuel pumps are worth installing or is oem yhe only way to go?
Good video
I had alot of trouble getting the holes in the gasket and diaphragm to line up because of the presure from the springs on each side. I had to use a feeler gauge on each side to keep the springs from deforming it. Or was I just being to picky ?
Yes, that can be a problem. Good idea to use a feeler gauge to keep them in place. :)
thanks for the video, I suspected the pulse pump,,,put a new one,,,,new fuel inlet and outlet hoses, 2 seals...everything becomes hard,,,works for 3 sec....turns off...again manually I pump it up...hard...runs for 3 seconds...carburetor repaired. intake...etc...ultrasound of the bowl...if it works...I remove the supply hose to the carburetor...no fuel...no pulse....johnson 6hp 1969.....
Would that cover have cracked from over tightening?
Say if it had been rebuilt in the past?
new johnson fuel pump on ebay is 15. is it better to rebuild or new. love your videos thanks
What size bolts did you use to mount the fuel pump?
I too am wondering what size screws to mount fuel pump.
@dangar marine
Anyone know the size and thread of the 2 bolts that hold the fuel pump on? Trying to find out so I don't buy every bolt in Ace Hardware. Forgot to mention it's for a 40hp Johnson 1993 model 2 stroke
I believe they are #10-24 x 1 3/4 inch bolts. Which you probably won't find. So just buy ones that are 2 inches long, and cut them down - or add a bunch of washers.
@@wolfjackman2795 Thank you WJM
If my fuel pump on my 15 hp 4 stroke Yam became inoperable when I was on the water can I attach the fuel line from the gas tank directly to the carb and squeeze it ever so often to be able to run home?
Yes.
You need to get a vapor honing blaster
Great video!

Thanks Jack. :)
Wild Turkey, only the best for easter !
Sometimes you've got to spoil yourself. ;)
