A little more help, please

[1964 fisherman]

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me thus far with my 5.5 evinrude, but now i have another problem. I can't seem to find a fuel pump for my engine. I have a sierra marine parts catalog, and they don't list the pump for it. will the one for the 9.9 work????? does anyone know where i can find one. i finally got the engine to run for more than a few seconds but i have to keep pumping the primer bulb every few seconds because i don't have a fuel pump, but this was also causing alot of my problems,because of the vacuum leak which i temporarilly remedied by installing a bolt in the hole, and after that it would run pretty good, except for idling it has a problem with that, it runs rough and then dies best news of all the impeller is working.

If that's a 1964 5.5, the impeller is Sierra Part Number 18-3001. In fact, that's the impeller for all 5.5 models from 1954-64. You should be able to find it at any NAPA dealer, or you can order one from any internet dealer who handles Sierra Parts, including iboats.com.<br /><br />The whole repair kit, which includes other parts, is 18-3102.
