97 Mariner Fuel Pump Plug If Not Using Oil Injection?

[captaingrubby]

I have a 97 3cyl 75hp Mariner that is not using the oil injection (putting oil in the gas) and I was wondering if I need to plug the fuel pump? <br /><br />Reason I ask is because the manual shows a "plug" for the "non oil injected" version of my engine. I've had acceleration problems (slow to get going) and replaced everything in the fuel system and I still have the same problem.<br /><br />Any help would be appreciated

You don't want to plug the fuel pump, you want to plug the oil pump after it is removed... It is recommended! But I don't think that is the cause of your acceleration problem... It's a cheap part...<br />Have you disabled the pump?<br /><br />If you are talking about the oil intake on the fuel pump, yes also...
