Re: 55hp chrysler

Too late now but here's what it says in the Seloc manual, page 4-61 . " The two outside valves are pressed into the pump body. If these two valves are pressed out, they will be rendered unfit for further service and would have to be replaced." Other than maybe ebay, I don't know where you would get those specific parts. One of the admirals probably has some ideas though. I wonder that in this day and age if some sort of an electric fuel pump could be fitted to our old engines.

Dont feel bad I did the same thing. My clymor says to remove them also. On mine I could see the gaskets were broken. Here is a link where I got them. fuel valves and gaskets Make sure you get the gaskets as well. The ones that came with your rebuild kit will not fit. You need items 6 and 7. You can press fit these in with I believe a 1/2 inch deep socket and tap them in with a hammer. <br />Good luck

Re: 55hp chrysler

When I ordered mine I ordered an extra set. I verified the part numbers from the link I posted. One of yours is brass and the other two are stainless. They do not make the brass ones anymore. You should order 3 gaskets so you can replace the one that is held by the two screws. I dont know what rebuild kit you bought but the one I got from NAPA the valve gaskets were the wrong size and they broke when I tried to install them.

Yep the shipping rates really suck. I paid 15 bucks for the shipping for a one ounce part. You could do is write the part number down and call a merc dealer. They might have it or can get it for you without shipping charges. If not order anything you can think of such as impellers and seal kits.

Just had a thought. How about trying Franzmarine. He's a Chrysler expert from Mo. Also a member of thechryslercrew. Lots of good info there also.
