Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Teleflex 18-7817 Fuel Pump Kit by Tyler Cooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great kit, carefully insert the check valve retaining clips.

Great little kit, worked on my Mercury 115. As someone else mentioned you don't need the big spacer in the middle of the picture. My factory Merc fuel pump didn't have a rubber washer in the check valve, just a plastic washer, even though the service manual says so. A little weird. Also, here's a tip to save you the hassle of ordering another set. The small retaining clips break or deform very easily when installing the check valve. Instead of trying to drive them in with a hammer or punch, use a good pair of needle nose pliers. Grasp the retaining clip shaft so that only a small portion of it is exposed at a time. Then press hard. This will prevent warping or bending. Then going in a little, expose the bar a little more and push again. Had great success with this technique.

Pros
  • Rugged Finish
Cons
  • Volume
