Re: rebuilding fuel pump. Stuck!
Yeah, I know, I hate it when other people do that, not telling the obvious details. Then I go get excited and do the same thing. Very Sorry.
I got it off finally. It was for a 1984 mercruiser 4C 140hp. This rebuild kit cost $45. It included new fuel filter, diaphragm, and gaskets. Before the rebuild, I was getting .25 - .5 fuel pressure reading. Now I am getting about 2.0! Not awesome, but just below the acceptable range.
It was bogging down under load, and couldn't maintain anything over 2000rpms. I took it out today, and it was able to hold up to 4000rpms, 35mph. Even still, once I tried to push it really hard, and WOT from a stop, it bogged down before I reached 20mph. I backed off a bit, and it recovered quickly and got to full speed. This is a major improvement, but still there is probably more work to be done. No, there IS more work to be done.
Thanks for reading the post and Ill try to do a better job giving you the info you need.
