Re: evinrude 5.5 1956 converting to fuel pump

[Leon]

The 5.5 is tough to convert, like the rest, because there are no removable bypass covers, like the bigger motors. The duckworks magazine conversion is the most practical method. If you have the powerhead apart, then I would install a nipple on the bypass port anyway and use it for the air actuator line for your Briggs and Scrapiron fuel pump. Mikunis are great too, and so many different styles. If you do go with a fuel pump, make sure you get the three connection type.
