Hi everyone,

My Motor Specs:
S#: 0T085371
M#:25EL 4STR

It is a 2000 Mercury 25hp bigfoot

Yesterday morning, I forgot to open the valve on the gas tank. After 25 minutes of driving, The engine stop. I immediately opened the valve, but i think it is too late. Because the engine would run for about 2 minutes then stop again. I have to manually pump the primer in order to get the engine runs. Did I just damaged the fuel pump? I disassembled the fuel pump, and the only thing that doesn't look right is the diaphram. What is else could be wrong? Here is a picture of my fuel pump. Thanks

Also,
can someone please help me find the fuel pump kits for my motor?

If the diaphram doesn't look right, replace it. You can get a fuel pump kit with all your gaskets and a diaphram very reasonably.

Since you have opened the fuel pump already, might as well get a rebuild kit.
A Good, merc dealer should have one on the shelf.
