Hi guys,
Some of you might remember me from my bare shell Dateline Bikini (Sidewinder clone) full rebuild and re-power from 2012.
I’d like to add an electric primer pump in line with my primer bulb. So I’d keep the bulb for emergency starting, but on a day to day basis I’d like to prime the outboard using an electric pump, with a “push to prime” button. When the button isn’t pushed I’d obviously need the pump to allow fuel to flow through it unhindered.
Has anyone done this? And if so can you provide me with some info on how it can be done please?
So far I’d considered a 12v gasoline in-line low pressure pump before the primer bulb, and a push-to-make switch or rocker switch on the dash. See the items I’ve found below on eBay as rough examples:
Fuel pump: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323857045463
Fuel primer switch: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362740514211
Would very much appreciate any insight or ideas you guys might have
