Fuel pump kit

[tazzster0228]

Where can i get a fuel pump kit for a 70 hp evinrude model 70973R. Mine has a broken seal and on top of it all while i was taking it apart the kids were going nuts and i was looking at what they was doing and turned around and parts shot everywhere. So i need a exploded view to see what i am missing. I ended up finding the spring with the plastic plunger and one plastic cap. So plz can someone tell me what else i am missing or can i get a whole kit for it. I sure dont want to pay the 80.00 for the whole thing the locals want.

Thanks

Thanks alot guys. Wilde1J. That kit is not for mine. My fuel pump looks like the one in the link that has pictures that ezeke posted for me. Thanks Eseke for that was alot helpful only thing i am mising is the other spring with the plastic cap. So i need to find a rebuild kit with those gaskets and the spring.

Fuel pump kit #0393103 repairs the 1979 fuel pump. I don't think it includes any springs, though.

I attached a mark up that I made some time ago with most of the individual parts and numbers; marineengine.com has most of the individual parts and the kit.

I have that model. The manual says it's a throw-away fuel pump, but in 2005 I rebuilt it using part no. 18-7820. All the parts were there.

you'll need gasket remover and gasket sealer. I used permatex #2.

Re: Fuel pump kit

Thanks guys, I appreciate everything. I will order the parts and rebuild mine. That is what the local guys told me was that it was a throw away. Well for 100.00 i don not consider that a throw away item. Especially when money is tight.
