86 Carter fuel pump on a 2002 merc 140?

[affa]

Hi<br />Ive replaced my 86 merc 140 with a 2002 mod 140, I put the old fuel pump on the new engine, and now it doesnt deliver gas to the carburator, wont this pump work on this engine, or can I have done something wrong when I have installed it. Or can the pump been damaged when it hasnt been fuel in it this winter.I belive this is a Carter fuel pump, it has the filter on the top.<br />I have only turned the engine over to check this.<br />Regards<br />Affa

I'm Not Sure,<br />But, Does the 140hp use the Fuel Pump Drive Rod ??????<br />Or, Does it drive Directly off the Cam ????????<br /><br />About Every Other Chevy uses a pushrod..............

It is a direct drive pump, no pushrod. I swapped from a 1988 to a 2002 and have no probs with the pump on my setup. <br /><br />Maybe the 86 had a pushrod? If so you need the newer pump.

Thanks<br />I got it working.<br />I filled the carburator with gas, and a little while after it started, the gas came in the fuel line, there was no push rod on mine pump either.<br />Thanks again<br />Affa
