1958 Evinrude 35hp V Twin

I have a 1958 Evinrude 35 Hp V Twin and was wandering if anyone could help me with instructions for converting the fuel system to a fuel pump.

Thanks,
Tony

This is a smaller engine, but the steps are similar. Rick

Welcome to the iboats.com forum. The experts here, which I am not, can help you with any issues involving a boat, motor and trailer. The link below should answer your question. It and many other helpful threads are found in the FAQ thread at the top of the Repair and Maintenance Forum. Another good source for you will be the "Top Secret File" thread by Tashasdaddy at the top of the J&E Forum where this is posted. If you would like a free copy of a scanned non-factory service manual the covers your great old motor, send me a Private Message with your email address (don't post in open forum). Once received, I will reply with the manual attached. Merry Christmas and good luck!

Thanks for everyone's help. Is there anyone who can explain how to find the correct fuel pump and gaskets for this conversion. I am definitely a rookie when it comes to this.
Thanks,
Tony

It looks like everyone has you fixed up, I just wanted to rib you on your "V twin" a little, and add that you have a nice motor!
My "straight twins" from the 50's really please me. I've been making a 2 mile round trip run with my '57 18hp johnson lately for several days now since I'm on vacation and duck season is open. Even on the rare below freezing days, it cranks up quickly and runs like a singer sewing machine. I have absolute confidence in these old motors!
