1967 charger w/80HP Evin.OB

[BIGGJOE]

Two questions:<br />1.)I got rid of the ole steel gas cans.<br />I've installed a perminate special 20gal. gas tank in the hull. So where should the primer bulb go? Near the gas tank up front or at the OB Engine as before? I have it at the engine. Secondly, does the old OB engine have a fuel pump? Will it work? Does location matter?<br />Please advise. Feel free to contact me via e-mail

Joe,<br /><br />You can put the bulb wherever is convenient for you.<br /><br />Yes, the engine has a fuel pump. It is mounted to the engine block, near the carbs. Just follow the fuel line into the engine. It will end at the fuel pump.

The primer bulb will work at either end,but better near the tank.It can 'push' fuel better than 'suck' it<br />DHP
