First time taking the fuel pump off rebuilding and remounting, scraped old gasket off and carefully cleaned surface until really perfect, all new kit gaskets diaphragm etc...,it leaks bad ,
the shop manual says apply sealant to threads as needed, I must need it but wanted to gain insight here on iboats first,
it was a real easy fix and I would like to start it up and test. but cant get the thing to seal? thanks for you suggestions.
"Follow up" So sorry Nevermind I just realized that My butterfly shaped gasket is in the Wrong Place,I spaced out and had it just after the diaphragm gasket when it should be outside of the assembly, fixed it and motor runs GREAAATTT!!!!
