It's been a while, but as I remember taking the fuel pump apart and rebuilding is a very easy job and it seems like the rear section was basically a vent area for the diaphragm and didn't come into contact with fuel.

Many thanks all sorted now cheers for info next issue is starter motor iv replaced it with another which has lesser amount of teeth will this matter much thank.s guys

That is all there is to them. What are you trying to do? You can buy a new one for not much more

Could run into a problem with the starter meshing with the ring gear on the flywheel and end up tearing up both.

I was trying to replace the other casket and diafram and forgot which way they went back sorted now thank.s to you guys

That fuel pump is the main line pump on most Evinrudes and Johnson OB's. If you can't find the kit you think you need, buy a new one. But the kits are simple and there really isn't much to those pumps. If you can spin the engine over with the starter and it doesn't fire, have you checked the spark? Buy a spark tester and see if your engine's ignition can jump a 7/16" spar gap. If so, then look at the carb(s).

Many thank.s this info just keeps getting better thank.s guy.s

Are you choking it to start it ?

 

[1983 ercoa 21']

You can take some pre mixed fuel in a squirt bottle and squirt it in carbs to see if it tries to start if it don't id be looking into a spark issue.

 

[bonz_d]

3 things are needed for a 2 cycle to run. Compression, spark and fuel. You can dump all the fuel into it that you want but with just one of the other 2 missing it will not run. Needs to have all three. Start with a compression test. On that engine it should have between 130-150psi, 145-150 is normal. Then do a spark test with an open air gap tester If those are all good then go back to the fuel system.

This is the you tube like https://youtu.be/wF68TOHNAqU Yes choking it i even poured a tiny amount directly into spark plugs still no joy the old boy next door reckons it,s not sining the flywheel that great

 

[1983 ercoa 21']

Have you done a compression test?

 

[bikerboyfife]

Just ordered a compession tester and a open air gap tester cant wait to report back to you guys many thanks

 

[fireman57]

After you filled the carbs by pumping the primer bulb did you open the drain plug at the bottom and make sure that fuel ran out of them? You could have the floats set wrong and not getting any fuel.

 

[bikerboyfife]

Yes Checked that carbies full waiting for compression tester to arrive along with spark plug tester starting to think the worst hope not cheers
