'57 Johnson 35hp fuel conversion finished

[ba_50]

Thanks to Tashadaddy, TM Calavy and many others who posted pictures and answered my questions, I got it running this morning. Here are some pictures.

I don't have a licensed boat for this motor so a real tuneup and test will have to wait.

I decided on the Mikuni fuel pump from Spruce Aircraft.

The yellow line is the fuel going from the pump to the carburetor
The gray line is fuel from the tank to the pump
The vertical line goes from the pump to the vacuum source
The short rubber hose with the bolt in it is plugging the port.

Looks good. Remember to make the pulse hose short enough to clear the cowls, but long enough that it doesn't bend/kink. Looks just like the set up I did on the 57 E-rude Big Twin...hope you plan on running the line in to the pump through the belly pan and quick connect fuel fitting.

That's the plan. Bob
