I suggested that. Haven't heard back from the OP as of yet.

I wasnt able to get to that today. I will give it a try tomorrow and report back.

Thanks for all the help so far everyone, you have all been amazing!

I also have a great set of better-than-OEM injectors that have maybe 20 hours on them if you're interested.

Hey man, get your 502 figured out?

TomZ 03-25-2022 04:36 PM

I was hoping to get a pump out to him, but both of my old MPI pumps are missing so that idea is shot.

Be cool if we had figured out who made the pump. Walbro has a few thst look similar to it….so maybe…they have one somewhere…lol

edit in: looks like walbro and carter have a few that look kinda similar by pics

This is the correct one from Basic Power:

I would trust it from them.

Okay, found 2 sites mentioning Airtex E11004. as replacement for the merc pump 861156A1. At first glance looks like those are unavailable.

502istheway 03-25-2022 05:59 PM

Ive got the pump and regulator ordered. I ordered the pump Tom suggested. I will report back once I get them installed. It will probably be a bit as I will be out of town next week. Thanks again for all the help everyone!

Come with orings and heat transfer paste ? If not, you’ll want them.

502istheway 03-25-2022 06:05 PM

I bought the o-rings as well. Will I need heat transfer paste just replacing the pump?

SB 03-25-2022 06:08 PM

Yeh, a former member that was a decent tech was adamant about using it. Ss a plug for what kind, Arctic silver is great stuff. I used it all the time on gm ignition modules.

Where are those radio shacks that used to be down the street when you need them ? Lol.

Pick your poison…

I have replaced the fuel pump and that did not make any difference. I am waiting on the fuel pressure regulator to arrive then I will try swapping that. Should be arriving next week.

TikTok guy knows what wrong - there ain’t no gas in it. 😂.

btw not related at this point but I finally broke down and bought a battery load tester from Napa a few years ago. So damm handy. With some aftermarket ignitions I found that even if the engine would crank over fine the battery wasn’t up enough to trigger spark. Again not really related but….

502istheway 04-11-2022 08:04 AM

I wanted to give everyone an update.

I finally got to work on it some more this weekend. I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and that seems to have solved the fuel issue. The fuel pressure looks perfect now. Of course the starter went out so I cant actually confirm it will start. Im betting it will once I get the new starter in.

DrFeelgood 04-11-2022 08:22 AM

Thanks for updating us. Have fun with the starter, hope that goes smoothly.
