qd-20 10 hp converting to fuel pump

[eddyf]

Hello out there: I recently bought a 10 hp qd-20 with a dual line fuel system. I do not have a pressuerized tank but I have lots of used fuel pumps and other parts and wanted to know the procedure to change it to a single line with a fuel pump. I tried doing a search on this subject but not having much luck with this new type of search on Iboats, giving me way to many treads. Thanks for any help.

I'm not real familiar with those, but there are some here who are. In the meantime, take a look at this post from long ago when it was easy to find topics and you might search the link below that, too....

Go to http://www.aomci.org/askamember/index.html
Scroll down to the thread titled Johnson QD-16 posted 08/07/06 for picture and explanation. Then scroll back up to the thread titled QD-16 Fuel System Conversion posted 08/09, which is a detailed followup.

I have a QD-19 and also want to convert it. Read here as this is the process for a 5.5hp which is basically the same but smaller: http://www.outboard-boat-motor-repa...tboard Boat Motor/Pressureized Fuel Tanks.htm

Let us know how it goes

That Mikuni pump conversion is fine for a 5.5 which doesn't have bypass covers. But for the 10, the bypass cover mount is much better. The only problem is whether or not you can find a suitable bypass cover. Personally, I would modify the old bypass cover before going to the mikuni route....but that's your decision.
