94 Mercruiser 454Mag with a Bravo One Outdrive:
On this engine the mechanical fuel pump and seawater pump assembly mounts to the idler pulley bracket. What lube is used to service the fuel pump cam and when should it be serviced?
The water impeller failed so I took the whole assembly off and replaced the one piece seawater pump. I noticed a fill port for lubing the cam that drives the fuel pump. I didn't know that this was there. I've have always had a Merc dealer service my engine annually - well until this failure (have to watch the pennies these days) - and I know it has never been serviced since they have never asked about it. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my manual discussing this. Before I reinstall the assembly I'd like to service the unit if it is needed.
Let me know.
Thanks,
Bob
