J200TXESM. Has all original parts - tank, VRO pump, etc. Very low hours - reliable estimate at 100 hours, 200 at most. Engine looks like it.
THinking of changing pump and tank, maybe while I'm at it, converting to SystemCheck Gauge.
I've been thinking of putting on a new pump because it's 17 years old. Low hours, but still 17 years... Need a new pulse limiter anyway (has original black one). Everything seems to be working fine though (engine runs well, oil burns at approximately 55:1 average). Pump is VRO2.
I'm thinking of getting a "new" tank since the current tank is kind of beat up and I need a new cap anyway. Plus, it's 17 years old.... Tank is translucent plastic - no black top. Oil outlet fitting has an indentation where the line goes into the tank which collects water, which I just don't like the looks of - although it appears to be moulded plastic, therefore impervious to leakage. Has a set of little indentations that look like they'd be for mounting something else (but are just little water collection points). Fill cap has a clear plastic center portion with printing underneath (says something like "Oil Fill" - can't remember). I've been told to replace the cap and of course filter.
Given that I'm thinking of changing the pump and tank anyway, I'm also thinking that if I can get parts cheap, I'd like to change to the SystemCheck gauge.
First, what parts would I need to change in order for the buzzers and systemcheck gauge to work?
Gauge, of course
Fuel pump? What P/N?
New tank? What P/N?
Different harness from engine to control box? What P/N?
New control?
Second, in looking at Ebay, I've seen MANY different tanks that seem to look the same, but have different part numbers.
124658
176995
124698
177284
176787
I've been looking all over but can't for the life of me understand the differences or find cross references.
Which would work with my current (non-systemcheck) system?
Which would would work if I made the conversion to systemcheck?
Thanks!
