Hi guys, can anyone give me the part # for a fuel pump to convert my 1957 evinrude 18 hp motor to a single line? I was going to keep the dual line tank but found a hole in the bottom as I was sanding it to be painted. I just replaced ignition system,impeller, and rebuilt carb. Now all I need is to get some gas ti her and she if it'll run. Thanks

I have the same engine and want to make the same change. Did you reslove your problem and if so how?

The easy way is to get a fuel by-pass cover from a newer 18, 20, or 25 HP motor. This is what the pump screws to. Use the same pump as any of these engines'. The cover will bolt right in. The single line fuel connector will also bolt right in.
