I feel like I'm dealing with the same problem. I hope so.

Wiring on a 99 Dodge pickup the fuel pump

If u putting a electric pump on a carb you will need a fuel filter with return..not the one u have there.

Thanks to your awsome video I was finally able to get the right part# for the fuel and water separator filter For my engine thank you!

thank you

crack pipe lighter and some pipe solder and ur ready to go like hunter biden...haha, just kidding. Seriously so that line coming off the mechanical pump line coming off the top of the pump is for simply seeing if your fuel pump diaphragm is leaking externally? Happy boating friend!

This a-hole is using a flame torch next to a fuel line ... OMG PLEASE do not try this !!

The resulting fire was horrible!!!

Cobbled fuel systems in an enclosed area equals ???? Getting it running makes it a mobile weapon. What happens when that lites off at the fuel dock. Spend the money to do it right or park it til you can afford to. I’ve seen exploded boats your life or your neighbors kids lives who wanted a boat ride are worth it.

Thanks, where are parts 2 through 6?

Torches and fuel pumps are always good practice 😂

there's alot of haters on here... there are 2 kinds of mechanics in the world that are useful the ones that will work with the high end stuff and are school taught that use math and science for every question & problem & can build you a rocket then there is your farm style mcgiver mechanic a resourceful guy that can work on anything anywhere at anytime like this guy here.. he is making due with what he gots the type of guy that wont be sidelined on a big weekend over some b.s. engine part a small autozone and a cheap non off brand tool set with missing tools and he good to go ....i grew up with both these mechanics in my life my grandfather was a master tech that got started in the pan american races in the 50's in mexico and my father that was a Jack of all trades that could take 2 busted old cars and make a runner.. both fed me knowledge both had there style that help shape mine ....if it work then it works ....GREAT JOB MA BOY!! FIRE IT UP ITS BOATING TIME 😎😉

If we run a hose to get some fresh water flowing into those type of outboards but the engine is not running will it overfill any areas that shouldn't have water...I just wanted to drain the water out thr bottom of the block to flush some rust out....I didn't see any water flowing out anywhere when I turn the water on...

Never wire an electric fuel pump directly to ignition. It must be wired thru an "oil pressure switch!

Safety first!! Oil switch so it stops pumping if engine dies..🤦🏽‍♂️💣💥

Although this guy is tremendously resourceful, his solution has issues...the silicone as sealer will breakdown overtime by the gasoline... so there's a danger of leak there... boat catch fire!

Very good video bro it save me alot of trouble

Nice video thanks

The term “knowing enough to be dangerous” applies. Don’t do this gang! Look up uscgboating.org Always check that your anti siphon valve is not clogged (at top of tank) there may be a screen in the elbow ahead of it. Replace, don’t leave out that valve. If it had a mechanical pump replace it with the same (marine type only) far cheaper, safer and should outlast the boat at this point if there isn’t something wrong between it and the tank.

Ok, the only DIfference is that you are running the engine on part 7 and on part 2 and 3 you weren't. How do we know if it wasnt squatting out before because you didnt run the engine before. Im just trying to learn. I have overheating issue, but want to trouble shoot correctly.

Right here? Wasnt the water coming out the bottom left port of the waterpump area on part 2? Didnt you do the exact same thing? Dont understand how you got it coming out the bottom now. Did you put your garden hose on a different tube?

Im a little confused. In Part 2 and part 3, did you run the water hose from the same tube inside before the power steering cooler each time and got two results? Here you got water coming out the water pump left bottom port, but later in part 3 you do the exact same thing and no water coming out the nipple on the water pump cover? Well if there's water coming out the first time and its all the same chamber why wouldn't it come out the top with the cover on? Also I think its part 7 where you get water coming out of the nipple, but you are definitely running the engine, and you didn't run it in Part 2 and 3? I know this is old, but I am researching like crazy why my 1990 Four Winns Liberator 221 OMC King Cobra 454 is overheating and causing vapor lock. My boat randomly shuts off when running around 195ish temp and wont turn on until its cool. I see the gas vaporize when I manually put it in carb when off thinking it was a carb issue with no luck. I was thinking maybe my Snipper Coils are getting hot and not sending spark. Cant figure it out. I want to try to flush my waterpump lines like you did, but dont understand why you did it not running and then only when it was runnning it was working.

What happened to bob McNutt?

460 king cobra I had this problem since 2014 you solved it thank you very much!!I'm just glad I found your video before I burned up the engine or gave the boat away!

Hi Bob. IDK what state you live but theres any chance we can talk to you? We already bought 2 boats and had really bad luck with marine mechanics. Now we know a little bit more watching videos like yours.

If that was the problem on my boat would it cause it to over heat fast?

This Guy is a fucking idiot. This is why people’s boats catch fire

Cmon !,,this guy is gotta be kidding me ... tuber’s do not do this . Just rebuild old pump

The house that comes from the pump is just a vent hose that is just inserted into the housing

Thanks for the info man...you saved us an expensive repair bill with your video !!!!

Steel fuel line? Should be copper/nickel alloy OR the newer marine type A1 hose over the engine. Copper, copper/nickle or A1 hose for the rest of the boat, NOT steel. Fuel pumps must be marine type AND mounted on a bracket on or within 12" of the engine. Filters must be mounted and can not have plastic, glass or Pyrex for housing or bowl components on gasoline inboards. Electric fuel pumps must have some type of safety interlock in the event the engine quits the pump must also stop. Usually wired to a oil pressure switch and may also be connected the start side of the ignition switch to help prime the system quicker (time out cuircuit recommended). Crimp connect wires and over cover with adhesive lined heat shrink tubing is best. Please be safe all.

u put your impeller in wrong way round.. you twist the housing CLOCKWISE because from behind the boat looking forward the motor & impeller turn COUNTER CLOCKWISE

Great explanation! will you be doing another video like this soon?

Thanks for the video post. Life saver for me, as your video showed the plugged oil cooler with bits of the old impeller. Mine was just as plugged. Your video was the only one that pointed that issue out. Problem solved, Thanks again

No need for gasket, use silicone! WTF, this guys out to lunch. Gas eats silicone for breakfast.

I have an OMC cobra 2.3 liter it's a1988, it will run great for the first 20 minutes or so, then the rpm's will bounce an it will die, and not start back up, till it rests for a while. temp never gets over 175 f. when it does start up again it will only run at a low rpm. I checked the impeller, it looks good, any ideas?

Excellent work my friend I have the same motor and stern drive or out drive thank you for the knowledge

Your Demo is excelent. I need a sterndrive lower unit in India

Mechanical fuel pump is an easy and inexpensive fix with a rebuild kit. Don't do what this guy did.

I enjoyed all 6 parts and learned a lot. you're a cool dude.

Brother you don't know how much of a lie saver you are. bought this boat for next to nothing due to over heating issue. after watching your video, found the same rubber chunks inside the tube. now it runs at 150 degress all day long. saved me 100's from going to the dealer to get this fixed. thanks thousands.

Good tips TY

You helped me tremendously! I have the same out drive with the same issue! Thanks bud!

all I can say is hack.

I'm having the same problem. Did that lil pipe between the upper and lower solved your problem?

i have a 1984 Bayliner inboard AQ125 Volvo Pinta 4 cylinder engine run will not go over 20 mils per our now to 10 mils per our try to cut off when trying to going faster in forwards or backwards can you help me to fix this thank [email protected]

thanks that fix my boat now it is time to sale it.

Glad that boat is in Canadian water and not US 🔥💣🚒

what is the unit you are looking into at 1.30? I have the same thing and wondered what it is and also what the 3rd smaller pipe going into the centre of it it is?

thanks for taking the time to share bud, sure you could brush up on your camera techniques etc but they are better than mine! good job
