    1976 Evinrude 85hp ((No rebuild kit for fuel pump? Need whole unit?))

    Re: 1976 Evinrude 85hp ((No rebuild kit for fuel pump? Need whole unit?)) If your fuel pump looks like this- , then 393103 wont work, you need omc# 0777774. The pumps are similar but look at the top where they taper, 393103 is different.
