      I’ve been trying to figure out what parts I need to get to run a fuel pump on a kg7 or any green top Merc. I’ve been looking for information on how to hook one up. I’ve read to use a manual k 25 transfer port cover because it has a hole u can thread.What size pump should I use an can I run the aj32 or put a mark 20/25 carb on it.I’m fairly new to this so sorry for my lack of knowledge on the parts are called. Thanks for any help I can get.

          A KG7 doesn’t have a fuel pump, it is gravity flowIf you want to go to a remote fuel tank you need to change to a pump type caeb too.

            I’ve seen videos of people running of an external tank seem cool to me. I thought it was possible to drill the intake port for vacuumed for a pump.

              you could  just  drill a 1/4 hole  in one transfer port cover  put  a  small square  omc pump on a plate (also drill 1/4 inch in line with the pump ‘s rear pulse port .

              Before you do all this  choose the best port  so the pump will not interfeer with the cowl.

              the carb  should be ok as is.

              see OMC  mod  in picture  adjust the plate  to match the transfert port cover ….. mount the pump, plate and  transfer port      with  longer bolts  .

              you may need to  resurface the transfert port  cover  over flat sand paper  surface doing figure 8s     to make it 100% flat under the new aluminum plate .

              attach the pump from the under side of the new plate.

              you can off-set the pump  so bolt heads will  fit  in the transfer port  cavity   just make  certain the pulses will reach the pump’s rear port…. apply  sealant on the transfert port  rim to prevent  leaks   under the plate

              hook up the pump  to a  new side fuel  connector or  directly to the  fuel tank.   hook up the fuel outlet to the carb

               

              all that said  and done..   purists will disagree  modifying your antique  ob

                Thanks for everyone posting I’m not sure I could do that set up. I’ve seen something about buy mercury mark 25 port covers with the hole and threading a brass air nipple running to a pump then to the carb but thanks for all the help

                  nippled port work to   see  mod on a FD …                      the advantage of the plate version is you only need 2 hoses

                    If I use the nipple version should I change both port covers or does it matter.I bought some mercury mark 25 intake port covers for easy drilling. What size pump should I use.

                      one  nipple one port  mofication.     the small mikuni pumps  should be fine .

                      suggest you install a small in-line fuel filter  on the fuel supply to the pump
