Working on an FD-11 and found a dual line pressure tank locally. The connector that goes from tank to motor
seems to be stuck internally. I know you can rebuild these. Does anyone have a link on a “ how to rebuild” thx.

Before more serious work, depress the springs with a probe and work some penetrating oil or ATF in. Work it a little.

I rebuilt a dual pressure tank a few years back. Make sure the pressure release valve works. Also make sure the over pressure (?) valve works.

Here are a few links to convert that engine to use single line tank.

The last link has a lot of info on the older outboards if you use the link at the bottom of the page to go BACK ........
