glad you got it fixed.

another note on fuel system components.

while restoring my '86 comp I decided to clean up the fram fuel filter / water separator canister....

the corrosion inside the canister was so severe that it rotted all the way through the canister itself - through nearly 1/8" of aluminum.


inspect your filter housing carefully the next time you change your fuel filter - if there is corrosion present - replace your filter set up with a newer spin on style filter - it will make changes in the future easier too.

$100 for a marine fuel pump does not sound too bad.

I've found dbstarteralternator.com to be unbeatable for marine electrical components, my new gear reduction style starter was not only 10lb lighter than the old style starter - but only cost me $60 to the door, and it's marine spec.
