This might seem like a dumb question ... But!

[neilly boy]

which is the inlet and which is the output fitting on this type of fuel pump? Is the output side "A " or "B"

 

[hardwater fisherman]

B is the inlet and there should be a fine mesh screen behind the round disk.

inlet==> on the top cover

outlet=====> the other one

I thought so . Just checking to make sure. Thanks

Thanks . I thought so But I wasn't sure.

You should only be able to blow thru the pump one way. That would be the direction the fuel travels.

I'm actually surprised there isn't arrow(s) showing direction. Usually such vacuum driven pumps have arrows showing such things. And the inlet tube section usually states "Filter" as well. Because there is a filter behind that cover...

If thats the cheap chicom amazon one, it will last about a week before check valves swell up and fail

I have no idea whether its a cheapo or what. But thanks for the heads up.

Those pumps operate on a PRESSURE pulse.-----Factory ones are very reliable.------What is the motor doing / not doing.

 

[neilly boy]

this motor will not start unless fuel is manually sprayed into cylinders. then it starts right up but runs crappy. After it runs for a few minutes it may start up without priming and it might not.

There is something wrong with electric choke !-----Try moving the solenoid.-----Or the motor is not drawing enuff air to pull fuel into carburetor throat when cranking.--Nozzle gasket is in place in carburetor ?------Year / HP / Model # of this motor ?

Thanks for your answer. The electric choke is working fine. You could be right about the motor not drawing enough air. I just noticed that the butterfly baffles in the carb throat are not opening right up. They are opening about 1/2 way. I will have to adjust that and give it a try. Its an evinrude 1980 V4 85 hp. Model # e85tlcsa. Though you might not find the model number in literature. The closest number I can find is e85stlcsa. The extra s in the number stands for special paint so I dont think it should matter. What is a nozzle gasket ? The carbs have new gaskets on the mounting plate.
