Fuel Pump Repair Kit

I have a 1979 Evinrude 150 XP outboard motor. It seems like it is not getting gas when I try to start. I want to buy fuel pump repair kit but it seems that every website (Crowley Marine, Evinrude, and etc.) gives me P/N 0393103 for the kit. I believe the upper fuel pump assy is #038855 and lower fuel pump assy is #0389440. But it the description the repair kit is for 1979-1983, 85 thru 140 HP. My confusion is that I have a 150 HP, premix gas/oil.

Will the repair kit (#0393103) caskets fit?

Will it fit both fuel pumps?

Do I need to repair both fuel pumps?

I want to buy the correct kit.

Thank you in advance for any info/knowledge/wisdom. Also hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!

I can also send small video of me cranking the motor. If you need/want to watch it not start. My fuel issue is ONLY a little educational guest.

Again THANKS....

David

Just a photo of Evinrude 150xp. Can't upload video to forum directly.

Thanks Again...

Forgot: Model # on boat title is J150TLCTE. Model # via Evinrude website is 150949C.

I have also just learned: 1979 is wrong.... It is a 1983... Which will help find the correct pump kit.

This should be everything you need.

Thanks Cray.

have you tried changing out your fuel line and making sure I ain't a fuel line !!! I had a 1984 Johnson doing the same thing and it turned out being the fuel line !!! I was coming apart form the inside of the fuel line !!!

Strmwalker,

I changed fuel inline filter, the fuel line ball and fuel line connector. I am going to check fuel line tube and screen today.

Thanks, I'm going to recheck all of the fuel line today.

strmwalker,

When you say "coming from inside the fuel line." Did you see any leaking? How did you figure that out?

I had the same problem on my 2000 year boat the inside of the fuel line was coming apart could not tell from the outside as the line looked and felt normal. Small white flakes of the inner liner was coming off causing fuel issues.

Cut the end of the fuel line off and looked inside you could see the flaking.

Thanks Bricks,

I just cut the fuel line. Very little amount of white slug. The screen looked clean.

Looks like the hose and screen are fairly new. I've only owned the boat for about 3 years. Unfortunately, bought the boat from a widower.

Thanks guys,

I cut the fuel line but very little white slug. Hose and Screen looks fairly new. Unfortunately I bought the boat from a widower almost 3 years ago.

the problem I had was the fuel line has a clear inter tube that was breaking away from the inside if the fuel line you could cut the hose looked good , but when you put the filter back inline and the connecter to the outboard the inside piece would kink up causing a restricted fuel supply !!! causing starting issues and top end issues !!! so what I did was go to a auto store and bought ethanol rated fuel line and replace the bulb problem fixed !!!!

Ok. I'm heading to auto store now..

thanks

here is a picture of what I am talking about !!!!

thanks strmwalker,

I have ordered new fuel line with screen, hose. Will be installing them when they arrive then will give you an update. Thanks for all of your help.

My fuel line and hose didn't look as bad as your. But.... I can eliminate a few more things to get her started.

I agree with strmwalker...those old fuel lines can give you fits.

Ok! So I replaced fuel line, hose, inline filter, bulb, both male and female adapters. Then I was unsuccessful on starting the motor this morning.

I would be pulling my hair out if only I wasn't bald!

Now waiting for starter battery to rechange.

Any other ideas?

Again, thanks in advance.

Draining the carbs right now. A LOT of water. I think I found my problem. Hurray but OUCH! Been pumping for 30 mins and still have dirty gas/water draining.

Sprayed air in every open hole of carburetors. Assembled everything back together.

Still engine will not start... Sprayed some carb cleaner into carburetors a two times. Each engine would turn over like it was going to start for a split second then nothing.

No start.

Now waiting on carburetor kit with float to be shipped.

Any ideas?

One way to test the pump is to disconnect line from pump to carb and turn it over and see if it is sending gas.
