One of the best repair videos I have ever seen. Complete and accurate information without any extra stuff.

Thanks for your videos. Just bought a 1978 Johnson 115hp to replace a Force 125hp. The Johnson will be my winter project. My wife asked how I know what to do - the answer is your video's and automotive my knowledge. Thanks again.

Stu, you came through for me again! I have a similar John/Rude (J25TESOM) and this is a breakdown I've been looking to do. Thanks in advance! Best marine engine channel on the interwebs!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for an excellent info-packed instruction on the fuel pump rebuild. Did it yesterday and just came back from a test ride... never ran better!!!! Thanks again!

Thanks bud. Might use this for some preventative maintence on my old Evinrude 👌 love your work!

Another VERY helpful video. So far I have used your videos to help me rebuild my water pump, carburetor and today, the fuel pump. Great Job! Thanks Again.

Great video again, something that might help that was shown to me years ago was during fuel pump reassembly use the two long fuel pump mounting bolts as guides through there normal holes to assist in lining everything up. Once the other machine screws are installed take the mounting screws out. Good that you explained what the hole in the back of the fuel pump is there for.

Hi Stu, I started to tear down my Evinrude fuel pump with a view to replacing all the gaskets and valves, but my local dealer told me the reco kits were weeks away from arriving in Australia. They also quoted a whole new fuel pump assembly which they were able to order in a couple of days for not that much more money. It also includes the cover, the tiny springs, and caps that aren't included in the kit. So, I took the easy option and got the whole pump which helped me get back onto the water asap. Keep the videos coming!

thanks Stu. I enjoy watching you work and explaining things. I think I pick up good mechanic habits by watching you.

Excellent video on a widely overlooked subject !! Thank You Master !!

Your video is the most clear and concise of any to do w outboard motors of any kind by anyone. BRAVO! Perfect camera image and sound. You are both knowledgeable and easy to follow along with. Great job. I look forward to your next one. Thanx for the professionalism. It's rare these days.

Another great video Stu! I just got a late 90's Tohatsu 25hp that is hard to find a ton of detail on. I've learned so much valuable information from your wonderfully delivered tutorials. Keep em coming. Thanks buddy!

Mate - I can't thank you enough for making these videos. I'm a first time boat renovator and I've just picked up an old 82 35hp enivrude. This series has already given me the confidence to get in and give it a good cleanout. Slow and steady - and it looks like I've got a few service kits to order! Thanks again!

very good video!!!! it's got to where if I see you on dangar I automatically stop and watch the video. I have a 50 hp. evinrude, I drained the gas tank, 10 gals. , all the lines, everything, didn't think about fuel pump, so took it apart cleaned the screen, and wallaa, running better, after 4 yrs. sitting there. thank buddy, ur the best!!!!

I love your videos they have been a great help with me getting my old 1972 shetland 535 and my 1994 evenrude 50 up and running keep up the great work

Excellent and informative video. I have this engine and am fixing it as I go. It’s awesome that you have this resource available. Saves 100’s of dollars

Thanks. Just what I needed. Clear and good close ups

I wish you were my neighbor

The best, educational outboard videos anywhere.. thanks again dangar stu!!

from Argentina. your videos have served me a lot. here the mechanics are a disaster. Thank you very much

Great video- the dealer told me that it was difficult to get fuel pump kits since there were too many small parts and springs- which tend to go flying- never to be seen again by human eyes. I get the new pump already assembled.

Thank you so much! helped a great deal. I have a question: When do you open the Core Plugs, those little aluminium caps? how do you open them? how do you seal in the new one? What is the purpose of those Core Plugs?

Great video, mate! I especially liked the beer bottle repositioning and going down!

Another excellent video Stu; Thanks again Friend !!!.

Excelente!!! Gracias. Saludos desde Argentina!!!

Excellent and informative. Thank you!

The Nylon Ties that hold the fuel lines onto the fuel pump are made specifically for fuel lines, if you look at them they are made differently than regular Cable Ties, when you tighten them onto the hose, they contact the hose all the way around, I buy mine at a Anchor Marine in East Missoula, Montana, USA, it is used on Johnson and Evinrude Outboards, of which I own one of each. I am an Avid Fan of your channel, keep up the great job.

Really great info and a very good video.Thank you Stu!

Always excellent instruction , thanks.

Thank you for another great video

You're the man, you're the man. Thanks for what you do.

Thank you for this and the carb rebuild video. Your presentation and step by step is very professional you are one of a rare breeds that can teach as well as do the job properly!

Thanks for telling me how to clean that corrosion

Great video Stu. I had a problem getting a tight connection with the small fuel line to the fuel pump. It kept leaking fuel after I rebuilt pump and put a new ziptie on. I used a common ziptie. Mercury makes a rounded head ziptie (the bottom side of square). It helps make an even seal and it solved my leak, just from being an older stretched line. Couldn't find them cheap online so I went to a local shop and he sells big and small sizes 8 cents a piece. I think his were an aftermarket brand. I know you could also use the metal auto ones too. But being close to other lines and being smaller makes them a better option to me. If you can find some give them a try

Dude!!! Your videos have helped me so much, I am in the process of bringing a non VRO 1995 Evinrude 88 SPL back to life. It has been setting for nearly 10 years, your channel has been so much help in the journey. Thanks so much and keep it up.

Hi Stu, Been busy still working and remodeling our master bathroom which is coming along good. My last day on my temp job assignment working on aircraft is April 24th so will start up more videos then. I did at least hook up the new steering cable on the Starcraft this week and it works great. I just need to clean out the tilt tube and put all back together and make a video to ad to my collection. Oh I'll send a picture to you this week as well with my new Danger shirt. Good ad on the end of the fuel pump video to test for leaks on rebuilds. also a good idea to pull the cover before going to the water as well.

Great videos as always. Great service you provide

great stuff, and thanks for sharing. Love the way you explain everything in detail. I have a 2000 Evinrude 9.9 4-stroke outboard, that I have to keep pumping the fuel bladder to keep the motor running when in high throttle, but sitting still in neutral it can run forever. I had a local shop work on it, and they replaced the original fuel pump that was designed to work with the crankshaft, which has a deeper diaphragm with one that is much shallower, but the problem still exist. Any idea on how to repair the fuel pump? I don't seem to be able to get any replacement parts for it. I appreciate it if you could help.

Thanks Stu as always spot on.

absolutely fantastic video and help - thank you

Well done, Stu.

I enjoy your knowledge, you have helped me a few times. I have a 00 Yamaha 25 Hp, 3cyl. Will it not run better on high octane? Or is 87 better for it?

Thank you, thank you ! I’ve been having problems with my first boat for a year now. A few people looked at it but nothing resolved. I changed 3 fuel pumps. Now I’m sure the pump is good after finding some faults (pinhole in diaphragm, sticky spring) Next is complete cleaning of the carb. Thanks to your video I was able to start and idle no problem. My biggest problem is on the water I can’t go full throttle, only half way. If I push the throttle it stalls. Hopefully the carb cleaning solves this issue. Thanks again. :)

Subscribed because your videos are so informative even though I may not need that particular repair.

Thanks for making these great videos man.

Super good vid. Just a note you can purchase the whole fuel pump new on e-bay for around $14

Thanks for the video Dangar Marine. This helped me tremendously with my fuel pump rebuild. One question tho, When you removed the pump from the engine, the cap was positioned to the right. When you installed it after the rebuild it was positioned to the left. Which side is the proper position?

1st, I’m a new subscriber & want to thank you for your tutoring. I’ve learned more from watching your video’s than I learned cumulatively through my trials over the years, so thank you again! I do have a question on the fuel pump though. If there is fuel in the carbs & you spray starter fluid in them or in cylinders, should the engine at least fire or show signs of firing, provided there is spark and everything else is in order? I ask because my 150 will not fire and I suspect fuel pump is part of problem if not the problem.

One of the best video on KZfaq !!! Thanks man ! respects from USA.

Thank you very much!

Nicely explained. Would you suggest giving those short fuel lines a quick flush through to get rid of any possible flakes of rubber after being disturbed? I hope you have had a good Easter break .

Thanks for fantastic show! We have Johnson 48 SPL, looks same as engine on this video except little larger.. yesterday I was out with kids and engine studdered a few times then few minutes later stated to smoke a bit and shut down with I think overheat buzzer on. After sitting out in the river for 45 minutes the the engine started back up. Found a bunch of gasoline in the bilge, though can't see any leak from the gas tank. There is a water separating fuel filter in the bilge area but I cant really see any leaking fuel from it. Do these systems pressurize that would cause the fuel filter in bilge to leak? For life of me I can't figure out where fuel came from in bilge except from the fuel/water separator filter. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks again!

Great video Stu! Did you change this pump out for preventive reasons or did it have issues? I'm wondering if I should add this to the list of things to do to my evinrude 48 SPL that has been sitting for many years.

Excellent and instructive video.

Great explanation thank yuou for that, have you ever work in a outboard johnson evinrude motor 90 hp 4 stroke?

TY Sir, after a few brisk ( above 4500 rpm ) runs, my 115 would limp back to the ramp on what I assumed 2 cyl, push the key and it would regain but only momentarily, leading me to believe fuel issue, took the screen out of fuel pump and it was 1/3 clogged

Interesting to watch and learn how these work. Great video

Thanks so much for this video. If I have a VRO with the VRO removed, can use this fuel pump? Thanks

Great stuff Stu. Cant believe I gave away a classic mint condition old yammy 15 when all that was wrong was the pump (or so I learnt from your excellent channel). It won't happen again!

Thanks for the video, helped me, my 1975 70 HP johnson fuel pump was playing up, the air dome was stuck

Looks like the same fuel pump as on my (what I suspect is a) 15hp Evinrude.

Love these videos, Oh by the way you already have gas all over your hands from removing the hoses, a little late for the gloves.

Awesome video. Very small parts. I see yee we’re enjoying a bundy aye!

Thank you for this amazing instruction I bought a 1966 Hydro Swift. I know lii about outboard motors. The one on my boat all it says: "Johnson 115." 2 or 4 cycles? How do I tell? Currently not running. Any one with info, it will be very appreciated.

Lol now were back to NO gloves you are a riot mate.

How often should you rebuild your fuel pump?

Thanks for all this information on the fuel pump and carb rebuild ! , I'll be doing these jobs on my 89 30hp Johnson , would you recommend installing an inline fuel filter for extra protection ? can the fuel pump handle the added resistance ?? thanks again for all your detailed videos

I have an evinrude 75 hp year 1977 is going well but runs out of fuel I give it a vla pear and it works well it has to be the pump

The mind that engineers stuff like this I tell ya...

Hello Dangar, love your videos and you have taught me heaps from watching them. Thanks for posting. As i have some old outboards (yamaha 30d 1978) where do you get your parts from as i am finding it hard to source repair kits or replacements parts. Cheers buddy.

Stu, thanks for uploading this. This is great but what do you think of replacing the fuel pump completely instead of a rebuild? I have a 1973 Evinrude 50 Lark I am trying to get running again and fuel supply seems to be the issue right now.

Great! Can you advise on if the aftermarket fuel pumps are worth installing or is oem yhe only way to go?

I have a fresh rebuild on a 1995 Johnson 225 Venom I'm in the last part of brake in period. Engine runs good at lower RPM, But when I get over 5,000 rpms the engine starves for fuel . I can pump the primer ball back up and engine runs good again until I reach 5,000 rpms. Carbs have been rebuilt, I installed a new fuel/ oil pump. New primer ball, hoses and fuel filters. All connections are tight. And advice is appreciated. Thanks, Basserron.

The instructions themselves have there own part number also.

Good video, usefull. How's the boat building going on. Haven't seen much of that last weeks

great help ty

Love all your video's I have a 1987 110 evinrude and after did a carburetor rebuilt the motor keeps dying change all the fuel line..new fuel pump...new fuel primer...but every time your press fuel from primer to the motor it runs until burn all the fuel then motor shuts off...prime fuel back into the motor it starts again until fuel burn out....i did everything everyone say on youtube.....any clue would help. Thanks

Hi Stu, I have a problem with a 90 HP Johnson we were going about half an hour at half throttle and the motor stopped. We had to crank several times with full choke to get the motor to start. It would only run a little and stop, which we did for 4-5 minutes. Finally it started to run without choke. The motor has a new pump and plenty of gas, new filter and hoses. What would cause this?

First I'd like to say your videos have taught me a lot about outboards, more than my actual class I took on them did! Everytime I have an issue with a motor that is stumping me I come here for clues and answers. Unfortunately I have another issue that has me stumped, I have a 70hp evinrude that will only fire up when you use the prime feature by pushing the key in but it won't stay running once that shot of fuel is gone. The carbs have been cleaned 4 times and it is getting the right amount of fuel pressure, what am I missing?

After replacing the VRO twice on my 1988 140hp johnson I installed the pulse type pump about 10 years ago and have not had a problem since. Just have to make sure I bring 2 stroke oil, a measuring cup and my 50-1 mix cheat sheet when I fill it up.

Hey stu I have a 50 Evinrud and I got a rebuild kit for the fuel pump and I rebuilt it and put it on my boat and fuel was still spraying out please help

Great video Stu! Wild Turkey and coke pre-mixed in a bottle??? I need to get down to Australia!! :)

All your videos are very informative. I removed the carbs. from a J50PLSTD 2003 outboard and can't figure out where some of the fuel hoses connect to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well I built mine a little different. Like wrong lol. Thats why it was leaking. Back to the drawing board. Thanks for the video duude!

Hello, I love all of your video's! Very informative! I do have a question though, I have a 60hp Evinrude that was a VRO, but the previous owner disconnected it. I just purchased a fuel pump like the one in your video, but I do not see where it would mount to the motor. I see the pulse hose coming from the block, but no place to put the gasket and connect to motor. My motor is a 93 Evinrude E60TLETD. Any thoughts?? Thank you in advance!!!

Another stellar video! Do you think the 1980's Honda 7.5 is close enough in construction to use this video as a guide?

Very good . I am from buenos aires.

new johnson fuel pump on ebay is 15. is it better to rebuild or new. love your videos thanks

I have a 86 85 hp force and it runs for awhile then stalls if you give the bulb a squeeze it will start back sometimes some times it wont .if it cools some it starts back up. I have a glass filter and theirs always got fuel.should I start with rebuilding the fuel pump?? replaced water pump impeller 2 yrs ago.it acts like it runs hard then falls off like you turn the key off. some times you can save it by squeezing the bulb sometimes you cant

Hi, Great video and really welly explained! I have just subscribed. Does the existing fuel pump have a part number on? How do I know what I need to purchase for my 1991 50HP? (The link for the kit says no longer available by the way, but probbaly can't get to my country anyway). I have located it locally in New Zelaand where I am which says it's for "432962". Also - Any advice for an engine which mostly starts fine at home but sometimes doesn't like to start on the ocean - Turns over fine but not firing. Spark plugs replaced and no change. Removed fuel line off engine when strandard (after an hour) and basically just plugged it back on, then engine fired up. (Also seems to not like idle/low revs and cut out when idling for no more tha 20 seconds).

Dangar I'm having some trouble with my 1975 85hp Evinrude running just wondering if you can help.

Hi mate, great video. I’ve got a Johnson 35q that’s in reasonable condition for its age but it has been sitting idle on my brother’s boat for 3-4yrs. Was going when put in storage. I’d like to give it a birthday and put it on my boat. What steps would you recommend? I’m thinking Fuel pump service, water pump service and new fluids. Am I missing anything? TIA

How important is it to change the cap for those kind of cracks? Mine has similar ones. Maybe smaller.

Thank you very much

Have a question if you don't mind... I broke off the stem that goes in the bottom of the carburetor bowl. I'm pretty sure it's the return from the fuel pump is this necessary or can I delete it and plug the hole in the bowl? Or is it necessary for keeping a constant pressure in the carburetor?

bem explicado.. top. do Brasil, São Francisco-Mg.

does this mix 2-stroke oil with gasoline? if not, could someone point me to a device that could? i'm looking for a way to automatically mix the oil and gasoline at the proper ratio from two separate containers.

my 65 evinrude idles very high sometimes, wont idle sometimes,. when I first started it, it was almost wide open, even though the throttle plates were in idle position. carbs were rebuilt.. im thinking my fuel pump diaphram is rotten and has a hole in it, does this sound right? thanks

With replacement of VRO on xp150 with two 3 line pumps, Is it necessary to plug top center hole connection or is the center hole even used?

Just bought a '91 Johnson fast strike 150 that the previous owner attempted to remove the VRO; no parts left for me so I needed up buying a manual pump that looks like this one. I am assuming the 2 middle ports are for the full rails for each carb/carb bank? The larger top inlet is for the bulb side (main fuel line)?
