Re: '77 9.9 fuel pump orientation?
I don't know if this will help at all...<br /><br />For older mercs, there is a great mercury parts website (
www.mercruiserparts.com) has really excellent exploded views of all the components of engines, including carbs, fuel pumps, electrical stuff - everything - along with parts lists. From what I've seen, it's the same info that the dealers' parts guys use on their microfiche or whatever they use to look up old and obscure parts. Goes back way beyond the 70s. <br /><br />So, the only reason I mention this is that if there is a website around that has similar parts information for old johnnyrudes, with exploded views, I'll bet that might give you enough to figure out the fuel pump. Good luck and post back if you find something. I have an early 80s Johnson that might need that sort of attention some day (did I say "might", I meant "will")
