1 Answer

oooo these have the Shnitzel fuel pump on the bottom...they stopped doing it this way in the event of a roll-over the pump won't keep sprayin' a fireball of gasoline...that's why they always put them in the tank....changing this outboard pump is pretty easy, you just need a set of fuel pincers~ suspect this pump could be failing~ you might change the fuel filter(s) to insure unobstructed fuel flow to the regulator~
