Fuel Cell Overhaul

[Taz59]

Well this is the beast that has been the cause of my Engine stalling at low revs.
Can this be sent away to be overhauled,is there a repair kit ????
Who makes them ?

Google is your friend. There are several thread about them.

They are listed as not serviceable, but some have taken them apart and cleaned them out. You'll have to source o-rings as VP does not sell them.

Carter makes them but up to now has not been willing to answer questions about them.

I rebuilt mine this past winter, although I was not having any problems. Chose to just as a precaution. It was relatively easy. I have seen rebuilt units listed on Amazon for around $300. If you need to be back on the water soon, I'd probably go that route.

What did you end up using for o-rings?

I have fitted a new fuel cell and the Engine runs fine, just seems a waste to throw the old one in the bin,

I would agree. Either sell in current condition or rebuild and keep.

I assumed that that is the fuel pick up filter.

I re used the small pump O rings. The larger, thinner ones can be purchased as a kit from ebay for around $40. If you search google, there is a listing there of the smaller O rings and where to get them. Mine were still in good shape, I decided just to re-use.

Who is the manufacturer, any part numbers stamped on the pumps

 

[lonewolf41]

There were no other markings on the pumps to identify manufacturer or anything else.
