" Thanks to those who replied
" Thanks to those who replied regarding my fuel starvation problem on my '73 18hp evinrude. As Joe suggested I checked for pressure/suction at the powerhead and found none. So I will go with the fuel pump idea and replace it with a new one. (makes me mad I spend $44 on a new one for no reason, but that's life).
But here's the thing. I took apart the fuel pump just to see if there were any obvious tears in the diaphragms, etc. and found none. But I did find metal shavings inside the pump on the powerhead side, if that makes sense. Any explanation for the presence of metal shavings inside a fuel pump? Thanks. "
