Here?s the scoop: I bought my 1996 Chaparral used a couple of years ago. I winterized and changed the oil myself. This year I had a shop do it. They informed me that the engine block is a 1998, not a 1996. The SN on the carb cover is a 1996. Best of all the fuel pump is most likely not a marine fuel pump and is not bolted to the block but just hanging by the fuel lines. Not cool. Also, The tech though it may not be wired correctly. It is wired directly to the ignition and may not be going through the oil pressure sensor. He quoted me around $700 to make it right. Holy S#!*!. I know this guy and worked with him for years so I trust him but, Holy S#!*. As I was looking at the Merc parts list to put this thing back together...$200 fuel pump, $100 bracket, $50 fuel line, I'm starting to see where he's coming from.
What I need is a picture (or 20) of a correctly assembled fuel pump/filter on the block. All the manuals I looked through are just cut-out illustrations. I need to know if the cooling pipes are going to be in the way or not. Any help on this is appreciated.
