I have a 1985 E40ELCO 40hp evinrude motor with a vro. It would run at start up but die after the carb bowls emptied. You could keep it running by pressing the fuel line bulb so I figured the fuel pump went bad. My local boat mechanic said a new VRO is $500 and they don't make rebuild kits for them. I don't mind mixing gas so he sold me a replacement fuel only pump

I went home to install it but there are no bolt holes or pressure pulse port on my model.
I have two questions.
1. Is there another fuel only pump for an E40ELCO and how is it installed?
2. Could there be another reason why my original VRO fuel pump wouldn't be pumping gas other than it being bad? (I already put in new fuel lines.)
