Well I just bought this motor w/o pressure tank and now im finding out how hard these tanks are to come by! I feel like a such a retard for not doing my homework, but I never knew these older motors didnt have a fuel pump!:mad: Well anyway, I was wondering is there any way to add a fuel pump on to this model motor? If there is, is there any step by step instruction on doing this? Im good at working on car motors, but this boat motor thing is new to me! Dang, all I wanted was a good motor to push this 14 foot flat bottom around with and I end up in with something like this! I will appreciate and advice! Thank God for forums like this, Rmitch

Howdy, RMitch.

Welcome to iboats. :)

Adding a fuel pump is a pretty straightforward task. Go to the Engine FAQs Forum and look for the article on this conversion.

Good luck. :)

Hey I have a old 61' model 10hp rude w/single line pump system and the motor looks just like this 56' johnson motor! Is it possible to take the pump and parts off the rude and put on the johnson to make it work w/o buying any parts?
Thanks RMitch
