When was the last time you serviced your fuel pump?

I have a 1977 Mercury 850, 85 horse power that I bought last year.

It ran okay last summer, but before this summer I am servicing as much of the motor as I can do myself.

This weekends project was the fuel pump.

I spent only $2.75 on a new fuel pump diaphragm kit and 30 minutes installing it.

I'm very glad I did because this is my old diaphragm with a tear in the middle:

On my little outboards I like to install a new diaphram kit every time I change the water pump impeller which is about every other season for good measure.
