Reply To: 1960 Evinrude Fisherman stalling

OK, your picture shows that someone used a 1959 powerhead on a 1960 engine.  No provision for a fuel pump.  They may not have realized that there was no provision for a fuel pump when they made the swap until the job was almost done, then they attempted to plumb in that fuel pump.   The intake manifold from a 1960 fisherman may not even had the pressure port nipple.  If the provision for the nipple was there, perhaps they did not make the necessary alterations inside that Jaques has pointed out…

So tell us, just where is the pressure line for this fuel pump plumbed into?
