" I recently bought a 1974 joh

" I recently bought a 1974 johnson 70 hp. I had a reed valve broken, and the fellow that I bought it from had dissasembled the motor,for a replacement of all gaskets and to inspect the rest of the internal parts. After re-assembling the motor, we are down to hooking up the wiring and fuel lines, but cannot find a fuel pump. According to the Clymers shop manual, the johnson motors use a self contained fuel pump. but on this motor there is no apparent place for one. the guy I got the motor from is helping with the re-assembly but cant remember about this part.Any help would be apprreciated.If there is one, a photo or an exploed view would be very helpful.

"Ricky....The fuel pump on that model sits on the port side (left) of the engine between the electric starter and the exhaust baffle plate assy. There is a small bracket that attaches to the powerhead halves with two 7/16" hex heads. the fuel pump then attaches to that bracket. Notice when looking at the engine sideways (looking at the exhaust baffle plate), the top of the bracket/pump would be approximately at the area where the baffle plate starts to slope towards the top of the cylinder head.

"Ricky.... None other than checking with a OMC (Evinrude/Johnson) dealership, or other dealers who may have a supply of used/damaged engines. I'll check tomorrow to see if I may have one left in stock.

"Ricky.... I checked my remaining stock but I do not have that pump bracket. Try the dealers and anyone that has used outboard parts. The OMC bracket part number is #318366 and that number may be imprinted on the part itself, but that's not a definite. It lists new for approximately $20.50.

Should you also need a fuel pump, I do have one new one left in stock. It lists for approximately $47.00 but I'd sell it for $29.00 and handle the shipping.
