Hello all -
this is related to my other thread about not starting...but i created a distinct one for future search purposes.
I ordered and received the electric fuel pump conversion kit from Moyer Marine. Started the install today. After some swearing, i removed the old mechanical fuel pump...now i have some room to work.
Trying to remove the brass plug where the OPSS should go. This is toward the back of the motor, above the pressure adjuster. Man, is that brass soft. What is the best way to remove? I've put a nice, wide flat screw bit into a socket, then used a ratchet. It sets in well, but turning the ratchet just begins to chew up the brass. I stopped. I don't want to modify the sending unit behind the flywheel if i don't have to .
Obviously heat is out of the question. i'm thinking i'll buy a 90-degree angled impact driver? Not enough room to use a head-on tool...needs to be an angle. The motor is 45 years old...is it a lost cause to even try?
