Here ya go and it can be purchased right here on Iboats. It's a good price and shipping is fast. Bought one about a year ago for 9.5hp and it works fine.

$50 aftermarket or $90 OEM? I'd take the Sierra 18-7350 every time for that difference.

If you want to have another go at it here is a really good instruction with pics. http://www.sschapterpsa.com/ramblings/Rebuilding_fuelpump.htm
I would do what ever works best for you. Cost and down time are the factors and during the season down time is most important to me. Off season I tend to go more with cost. Best of luck. Rick.

Those little pumps are really tricky trying to put kits in. After about 50 tries I got one right. Wouldn't recommend one.

I've heard that before. I noticed even LeeRoy has a little warning saying you might not get it the first try. Sounds like a winter job to me. Rick.
