Am considering purchase of an older 4.5 HP (Evinrude 1980 E5RC). Model in question has an integral tank. I am wondering how difficult it may be to retrofit with a barb to connect to an auxiliary tank so I may avoid a refill procedure on the water. OMC shows part numbers for 2 different fuel pumps. One for the model with an integral fuel tank, another for the model designed for use with an auxiliary fuel tank.
Thought the old square-style pump was uniformly used among the OMC small outboards of the era. Anyone know why the pumps for integral vs.auxiliary tanks would differ?
Were OMC models with integral tanks of that era always designed with fuel pumps versus gravity feed design?
