If the O rings in thr connector are bad/shredded or swollen or someone put in the wrong size they will cover the fuel port and it will not run. (personal experience). I would suggest buying a few O rings from laingsoutboards.com and trying them. If not the bypass cover conversion is easy and cheap. Rick more
You're right Rick, thanks. I'll get a new set of rings and put them in. Can't hurt for a few cents and could save me a lot of work too. more
I have converted one with the manifold method you described, and it works, but in my opinion, the bypass cover plate method looks cleaner, easier to work with---heck, it's how OMC did it! If I ever do another, it's definitely how I'd do it. HOWEVER, if it's just a leaky connector, there's no way I wouldn't buy $2.00 worth of o-rings from laingsoutboards.com or vintageoutboards.com and fix the connector.

Minnow,
There's several things you can do to check that tank. Let your motor run in the tank by pressing the primer for about 2 minutes and then unscrew the gas cap and see if pressure is building up. If no pressure, then you have a hole in the tank or bad gaskets. You should be able to locate the hole with soap and water or the gasket leak. If it's making pressure, it's bound to be a bad o-ring in the connector, or a bad sintered filter in the glass bowl or some other constriction of the fuel system. You can always take the filter out and run it and see if that's the problem. THere's quite of few things it could be, if the tank is making pressure.

Got any ideas on how I can be sure the water pump/impeller is working good? This motor is new to me and I don't know how much maintainence it has had over the years. It looks clean and paint is original.
