Hello, all - been lurking a while, bought my first boat last weekend - needs lots and I'm starting with the engine. Step 1, get fuel from point A to point B. I'm ordering a rebuild kit for my Carter fuel pump and getting lots of info by lurking in these here forums (thanks for that!).
Reading this thread I've discovered why there is a threaded hole on my pump, but it was just open - no fitting, no hose, nutin'. I know it's supposed to lead to the carb, but can anyone tell (better yet, show) me just how/where it connects on the carb end? I'd like to know before I tear into rebuilding my carb in case it's a wrong carb. Your question? Which carb - it's a Rochester 2 Jet 7043183. I already have that rebuild kit.
Now, FWIW & JSYK, I never took auto shop. I sell money. I do consider myself somewhat mechanically inclined (used to do automation in a theatre), but type slow and loud so I can keep up!
