Hello
Just bought a boat with a 1998 40 HP Tiller. I am going over it bit by bit as I think I got a decent deal, but the motor might not have been cared for the way I would have. Didn't run all that well but had good compression and nothing especially out of repair. I have a shop manual (Clymer) which has helped me with linking and syncing and some other things, but seems a little light on the following subject.
The VRO is disconnected. The previous owner out on a Sierra fuel pump that has an inlet and outlet and uses the pulse from behind the pump.
I just bought the Johnson pump and it has an inlet, outlet and a pulse line - no hole in back.
Can I use the pulse line that the VRO used without a pulse limiter. I am assuming so otherwise why the third line. I would rather use the OEM fuel pump as I already have a service kit for it.
Also, is the airbox drain supposed to be piped into the intake manifold or crankcase. It is not connected to anything right now.
