Re: Fuel pump help!!!!!!

depending on how big the crack i you should put some high strength fuel resistance heat resistance epoxy on it

Yea there are several good products out there, just make sure the area around the crack is really clean and dry. Scuffing it up a little wouldn't hurt either.

Re: Fuel pump help!!!!!!

are you talking about a vro pump or the dual pump cover with the bolt in the middle. you can buy dual pumps on ebay all day long. about 40-55 a piece i'd run two on your motor.

You might tell us the year of the motor. Did you look on the crowleymarine web site for a replacement?

If you want to try fixing it, use some MarineTex epoxy putty. Clean the area well with Acetone first.

It's a 1977 and I would rather replace it rather then just put apoxy on it I know someone that can plastic weld I might have that done and its the dual fuel pump set up I don't have a vro pump

OK, looks like a single fuel pump, new for about $100.

OMC, Johnson & Evinrude - FUEL PUMP - 1977 Johnson/Evinrude 200
