Hello,
I am looking for a recommendation for electric fuel pump for my 1976 SRV190. It has the Mer233 ( Ford 302 ). Fuel tank is mounted in the front of the boat, above the floor with a top mounted fuel line. Fuel line is around 15-16 foot long.
I was looking into a Walbro FRB-13 because it states a lift of 48" but I am new to boating and really don't have a clue what I need? I will also be purchasing a painless wiring harness for installation.
I know some might ask why I am going away from the Mechanical pump? Well I am having fueling issues. If boat sits a day or two it wont fire up without a shot of ether. sometimes when I hammer it down it falls flat on its face, I have to back off throttle and then get back into it. Also sometimes it wont fire back up after running and shutting it off for a bit without a shot of ether but if I shut it off and start it back up it fires right up. I have flushed fuel tank, replaced fuel filter, fuel lines, carb with a Holly, mechanical fuel pump, coil, insulated fuel lines, ran boat with blower motor on, ran boat without cover on motor. none of this has mad a difference. I ran a test gas can and primer bulb back by the motor and my issues disappeared.
Any help pointing me in the direction of a good pump for this application would be very helpful.
Thank you,
Jared
