    Convert 1993 4 HP to remote tank

    Update. I got the Mikuni pump ( had to get the round plastic one as they did not know when they could get the rectangle metal pump. Plastic pump is sealed and unserviceable). There is not much spare space in these little motors so I took out the internal tank to make space and made a bracket to...

    Convert 1993 4 HP to remote tank

    Thanks for the response. I like the sound of the used OEM pumps as I like to to keep things original but I have decided to try a genuine Mikuni, not a Chinese copy. The stockist here says there is a months wait for the metal ones. He only has plastic ones at the moment. kbait, do you have a...

    Thanks Crosbyman. Yes it is a Chinese pump. It is mounted directly on to the motor so the pulse is direct to the pump with the mounting screws above and below the pulse hole with quite a thick gasket that was supplied. I have attached photo ( I Think) The original set up had a nipple screwed...

Also the inlet and outlet spigots are a different...

    Thanks racerone, unfortunately they don't seem to be available here in Australia. I have looked at a few US parts suppliers and their sites say that the part is unavailable as well. I have contacted outboard wreckers here and no secondhand ones available. One wrecker can sell me a new pump (...

    Convert 1993 4 HP to remote tank

    Thanks for the replies. It is a 4 HP ( Belgium manufactured) with only an internal tank, so it does not have a pulse pump fitted ,that is why i want to convert it to use a remote tank. The internal tank does get assistance from the crankcase, which is a rubber hose from the crankcase to the...

    Convert 1993 4 HP to remote tank

    I wish to convert my 1993 Evinrude 4hp 2 stroke to run on a remote tank instead of the internal tank it now has. I found this thread here which is helpful in identifying parts and explaining some things. https://forums.iboats.com/threads/1999-johnson-4-hp-how-is-this-supposed-to-work.612401/...
