Fixing fuel pump problems on Optimax
My low pressure fuel pump has gone bad on my 200hp Optimax. These things cost around $300 and go bad often. I found a guy at Advance Auto that when I told him what I was thinking of doing he went to the shelf and picked up a AIRTX low pressure elect fuel pump (pmp # E8016S SKU # 5773407). He said these don't go bad with the ethanol. I guess he has encountered people asking for these to fix the same thing.
It's close to the diameter as the old one so I may be able to put it back in the same place but if not, I'll mount it somewhere close to the motor. I'll cut off the elect connector on the old pump and put it on the new one so it will all hook up right. This should fix the problem and save me a boat load of money.

Installed the low pressure elect fuel pump today. It fit in the holder for the original fuel pump.
It fixed my problem. $45 versus $400.
