Spent most of last Sunday laying across the engine dangling my upper torso upside down to replace the fuel pump on the Dancer. This is not something I'd enjoy doing again and definately not something I could imagine doing bobbing up & down in the water (it was on the lift).
Is there a better way? Other than having a mechanic do it? At one point I thought about gobbing grease into the cavity to hold the rod up while I slid the new pump in. Finally got it by holding it up with a WD-40 can nozzle...
At least it fired up and ran afterwards...
