Hey guys, first just wanted to say what a great forum this is, it has always been helpful.

Now, what I have is a 79 200 Evinrude that is squirting fuel out of the back of the lower fuel pump.

My question is, first the obvious its not supposed to do that right? lol
Second what is causing it to do this?
Third, can I rebuild to pump or do I have to buy a whole assembly? Like $90.00.

It doesn't seem like it is running bad, obviously I have stopped running it since I noticed the leak, I originally thought it was just a line and I replaced the lower pump lines but it is obviously squirting out the back of the pump still.

I tried search but didn't come up with anything so your help would be appreciated!

Thanks

You have a bad diaphram in the fuel pump. Yes you can get a kit and rebuild it.
