Re: 1956 Evinrude 7.5 Fuel conversion

i just bought a 1956 7.5 evinrude outbored motor the engine is really clean my problem is that the fuel connector along with the hose was missing so my question is if i just buy the 2way hose do i have to go buy the connector or can i just bypass it and run them direct thanks

If your question is can you fore-go the quick connect fitting and just attached your lines directly to the motor then the answer is yes. The quick connect is only there for convenience.

F_R nice kit well worth the $$, mine cost me nearly $100, plus having to have the by pass drilled and tapped.

I've been using the 2 line tanks since the 50's, never had a problem with them "Blowing out". I prefer the 2 line, but you can also use an electric fuel pump, but it must be the low press (4-6 psi) type. Yes you also need a battery to run it, but you've probly allready got one for your fish finder...
