bobw…. that model with the gold mesh was recently a topic of discussion because one user had issues with the pulse line pushing some fuel oil mix to the pump and it ended up oozing out the gold mesh .
apparently this type was more for 4 stroke type engines like lawn tractors etc… installed way above the pulse source source.
just mentionning it in case it does create issues. the “non mesh” types may be more suited to our 2 stroke outboards
Yes, now that you mention it, I do recall reading that thread. The round pump was made as a replacement for the Briggs & Stratton lawn tractor pump and it seemed to work fine when I installed it but I do think the Mikuni pumps are better quality.
