Advice about fuel pumps
I acquired my 33-year-old project boat in Dec 2003 from a charity, and now that I have all the DC replaced, I would like to start the engine (ser # 173938).
The engine catches with starter fluid but doesn't run, which leads me to eliminate everything except fuel supply. It had a new carb and SS upgrade in 1999 and was overhauled in 2001/2002. To the best of my knowledge (i.e. talking to other waifs at the marina) it was never started after being re-installed. A Napa electric fuel pump has been installed inline without an oil pressure gauge. There is a new fuel filter/water separator in my dock box and an old one attached to the bulkhead with a screwdriver sticking out of one end. The gasoline hose is new and has a squeeze bulb primer. I would like to replace the fuel pump, but I don't know if I should get a rebuilt mechanical pump, an engine-mounted electrical pump, or a bulkhead mounted one. Access to this area is good but not unlimited. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
