Hello Everyone,
I'm having a little problem getting this engine to turn on. I purchase this engine 1 week ago at a yard sale and the guy told me the last time he ran it was about 6 months ago. Well I mount this on my skiff and hook it all up and it wont start. I took apart the fuel pump and its toast! So much rust inside there is no way gas would pass through there to the carb. I wonder if it sat longer than 6 months? Anyways, anyone know where I can get a new replacement one or a re-build kit for it? Any model No. of another pump that might work? I've tried www.vintageoutboard.com and had no luck there. Thanks for your help in advance.
