Reply To: Scott Atwater 1-25 Fuel line help needed

[retiredoz]

If I could find a way to post pictures here, I could show excerpts from the ’52 Accessories catalog showing the fuel pump kit, and interestingly enough, another kit showing a two-way valve setup, using the on-board tank for ‘trolling’, and the external tank for the long run home (allowing for two different fuel mixtures). My semi-educated guess is that since Scott put the fuel pump on the 16-hp starting in 1950, by 1952 the concept had been proved enough to retrofit the 7.5 and 10-hp motors to keep users from complaining about having to refill the damn tank all the time, and the 5-hp was a throw-in. It’s not intuitively obvious how to connect an external fitting to the clunky cowlings, but I’m sure there’s a way. The cowlings changed in ’53, and by then the fuel pump was standard on all but the 3.6…
