Review on High-quality Fuel Pump for Johnson Evinrude 6hp, 8hp, 9.9hp, and 15hp Engines by Joe Merculief

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Sprays fuel in all directions.

Purchased to replace the fuel pump on a 1977 15hp Johnson outboard. It fit very well, but when I screwed the fuel filter on tight it just spilled fuel all over the inside of the engine case. I cleaned the edges of the metal filter so it fits better and doesn't interfere with the gasket seat. Bad luck. I tried tightening it a bit but it kept leaking everywhere. I tightened it up a bit (1/4 turn with a screwdriver), about 1/2 turn, and the threads in the cheap aluminum plate just snapped. Now everything is useless.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Almost everything included
