Re: Adding a fuel pump
This info came from Wayne at brokeboats.com<br />credit where credit is due.<br /><br /> "The best way to convert to a one hose tank and pump is to locate a later<br />model junk motor with a fuel pump.<br />Most dealers and shops have a junk pile of old motors and will sell parts<br />pretty cheap, especially if you're willing to dig through the pile.<br />The parts you need are the transfer port cover and the fuel pump that is<br />mounted on it.<br />Don't worry about the condition of the pump as rebuild kits are readily<br />available, easy to install, and only a few bucks.<br />Wear some clothes you don't mind getting a little grease on and I would take<br />my transfer port cover along to ensure a proper match.<br />Remember that the dealer isn't making much trying to sell you a used part<br />off a junk motor so think of it more as a favor instead.<br />The transfer port covers (one per cylinder) are located on the side of block<br />and held on with 4-7 screws depending on model.<br />If you absolutely can't find a cover and fuel pump you could drill, thread,<br />and install a hose fitting in the intake area and use a 3 hose fuel pump<br />from a 70's 3 cylinder motor. That would be a last ditch attempt and I would<br />have a qualified technician help with the installation.<br />There were factory supplied conversion kits available at one time and you<br />may be able to still find one at a long established dealer in his NOS (new<br />old stock listing)."
