I have a 3hp Yamaha outboard 1992 "Malta" 3MLHG 6L5L with only an internal fuel tank. Can I modify it to connect an external fuel tank? How?

It would need to have the fuel pump that's integral with the carburetor. I see that the 3MLHQ does. I can't find your model specifically. But if yours has the same carb, it should be a piece of cake. Or perhaps you can find one that does.

u will need a fuel pump, since yours is a gravity fed system
