i have a gamefisher 217 586613 was wondering if this engine has a fuel pump?if not how does the fuel get to the carb? if so is there a place i can find a fuel pump if i need one ? thanks Mike
If it has a remote hook up it has a pump.It is an odd looking rubber bladder
in the mounting flange of the carb. Note the angle of the installation.
Parts may be available at certified parts corp or discount marine
thanks for the info.i think i might need one because it stops running after a few minutes.But if i pump the fuel bulb a bunch of times it will run for a long time.not sure if the fuel pump is bad.but i can tell you this motor is very effcient ive had it out 3 times and only used 1.5 gallons of gas.whats the told tale sign that the fuel pump is bad? thanks again
If squeezing the primer bulb helps it run its generally the fuel pump or a bad connection somewhere allowing it to suck air.Pump element failure is fairly common.
