Motor is 1968 johnson 9.5 h.p. Model # MQ-14D. My uncle's motor which he did not use for a while. Lucky for me he followed the storage procedures, and motor was in good shape. The fuel pump was apart. I looked up a drawing to confirm the order of the sections. He had the parts in bag, but I did not see any springs in there, and one screw was missing.
I assembled it, did a check out, and it started up on 3 pulls. Yes, it was in a water test tank. idles well, but I figured, with the original pump missing the spring, I would have to keep pumping up the fuel hose ball, as it would run
( idle) as long as I kept fuel pressure to carb. ( I also did not pump bulb, to see if pump was doing anything, but it started to cough after about a minute or so, and as soon as I gave it a squeeze, the motor would even out. )
Since I dont know what group of spring(s) or spring was in there, I figured to buy a pump, instead of re-build kit.
Can't find pump or carb kit here on I-boats. Would perfer to buy through I-boat. A lot of parts for 9.9, but not for 9.5 Any suggestions of other places I can get pump, so I can get this motor pushing a boat.
Thanks .......
