New to this site and first post here. Here is the situation. I just acquired a Johnson fd-14 1960 18 hp motor. I can get it to start but it only runs for a few seconds then dies. I plan on rebuilding the carb and replacing the fuel pump. There lies the problem though. No one has a rebuild kit for the fuel pump or a new one. I checked all the local shops as well as here on IBoats. Does anyone have any suggestions, or solutions? Also the motor has good spark and compression.
Thanks
Joel
