Customer Question

my 1999 yamaha 100hp four stroke outboard fuel pumps have both stopped working at the same time. moter runs fine if you keep pumping the bulb to keep pressure up, but the pumps will not draw fuel.

Ok on that year they had bad fuel pumps, all their motors did, they used a bad plastic on it and now have updated them

You will need to gaskets also

I would replace them and the fuel line and primer bulb to the motor and replace the fuel filter

If you post the fuel model number i will post the part numbers and prices for you

Customer replied 271 days and 5 hours ago.

the fuel line and primer bulb are brand new. and the gaskets and diaphrams on the pumps are also good. the pumps are cam driven but are not pumping

Customer replied 271 days and 2 hours ago.

see if #31 can be moved with your finger or something to get into the fuel pump hole

Customer replied 271 days and 2 hours ago.

yes, i cranked the motor with the pump off to see if the lever was moving to activate the pump.

#21 can wear down
#22 can loose its tension

if you just installed new diaphragms you could have gotten the wrong ones

Customer replied 271 days and 1 hours ago.

the pumps were rebuilt by an authorized yamaha dealer a year and half ago. i may have to break down and take it back in.


 


thanks for the info. i will keep working at it for awhile longer first.

ok, i bet they wore down again, unless the cam wore down

try and see if you can borrow a new one

if your over filled on oil they are bad again
