It seems like every one has a different opinion on what I should do/should have done when replacing my fuel pump with VRO on my 1986 Evinrude 40 VRO.<br />1. When I went to buy new ratchet clamps, I was told to use ty wraps, "They work better", was the comment. The instructions from OMC very specifically said to not use ty wraps and to use ratchet clamps. Seems like OMC would know and probably has a reason for saying to stay away from the ty wraps. 
<br /><br />2. It has been suggested that I remove the pulse limiter fitting that I had to modify and reinstall the original with the screen in it.<br />The one the dealer supplied to be used with the new pump had a much larger hex, (which I had to file smaller), and has white material visible inside it. Almost looks like a filter. <br /><br />Here again, neither my Clymer nor my Seloc manual is of any help.<br /><br />Stupid me, I actually thought I was done with this project. Hey, it was just a fuel pump change. <br /><br />Charles
