Double hose conversion

[GLEN DEUTSCH]

I am doing a double hose/single hose conversion. I know that you don’t need to go into the reed plate for some of the Evinrude/Johnsons but I cant remember after what year. Want to keep it simple.

what model engine is it ??? if 5.5 you may as well use the air nipple to feed your pump for other models 7.5 10hp …… I think the pump on a plate is the best way to go

presently working on a 10hp myself

you can also do a B &S pump on a frame attached to the back cross-bar if your engine has one… but you will need a vacum pulse either from the air pressure nipple or a drilled cover plate with the air pressure nipple block out with a piece of short fule line anda short bolts tuck in it

if you do “pump on a plate” make certain you do not obstruct the cowl or any mechanical operation . Some square pumps have a thicker base and extent out a bit more

Drill the side cover plate 1/4inch just behind and in-line the square pump to get a crankcase pulse.

Off-set the pump with one bolt in the cover plate region and one bolt outside the cover . use the pump base gasket as a guide to properly position the pump and drill the 3 holes to mount the pump plate.

plate is 1/16 inch aluminum. the engine cover plate should be made 100% dead flat by doing figure 8s over 120 grit paper over a large glass or tile surface. it will be dead plat when all the paint is rubbed off and checked with a square edge for flatness.
