fuel pump info that may save someone from a headache

[jcr0340]

Hello all. I'm am posting about a fuel pump kit Pt# 18-7820. This part is supposed to fit 1970-1978 75 HP Evinrudes. It does not. This kit is sold by many different dealers including some auto parts stores The kit is also sold for numerous other evinrude years and sizes which it may fit. What I do know is no mater where you buy it, it will not fit 1970-1978 75 hp. Just want to help maybe some one else. jerry

Why did it not fit / work on your motor.---Any pictures of your motor and pump ?

Welcome. Jerry.

What is the correct part number?

Is there a any possibility that somebody else changed the fuel pump on your engine over the years to another that fit? Because an obvious error like you are referencing surely would have been noticed before this...

I just checked, and the kit should fit the 1970-78 3cylinder models such as your 75hp. So...either the pump has been replaced on your motor, or the kit is mis-packaged or mis-labeled.

Probably got a 90hp pump on it because some 'clever' person thought a bigger fuel pump would push more fuel into the engine make it go faster... :facepalm:
