i've been ask numerous times how i converted my 1958 35 seahorse from the pressure tank, to the fuel pump to work with the single line tanks.
disclaimer: this is for a 1958 35 hp johnson seahorse. you have to verify your on parts, and method of conversion. i will not be responsible for any screwups.
i started by ordering fuel pump 438562, bypass cover gasket for this engine 304784, and fuel connection 438793. you will have to verify the bypass cover gasket for your particular engine.
i remove existing connections, & bypass cover. had the 2 outer hole tapped for 10/24 bolts, and the center hole drilled out (this is for the pulse, to operate the pump) reinstalled cover with new gasket. mounted fuel pump to cover(don't forget gasket between cover and pump).
removed existing fuel connector, and replace with new. install new fuel line from connect to pump, will have to be bigger diameter to fit connections.
new fuel line from fuel pump to carb. and i just use the shade tree mechanics method of blocking the air line with a bolt into the line with a hose clamp.
make sure everything is tight. connect fuel line, and should be ready to run.
