yamaha g1 wiring issue

[lildegen587]

im not 100% sure its the seals but it does make sence that the seals are bad. i was just thinking about what the dealer had told me and your right its a bunch of bull, what would be the best way to know if i dont have enough backpressure to run the pump?

Well unless it's in another post I missed maybe it would be wise to start a new topic and describe the problem you're trying to solve. Many here are great at giving good information on what to look for and what to try. Isolate the problem and take it from there.

I would do a compression test that's always a good place to start..

I would not use an electric fuel pump. I did that to a 18hp Briggs motor. The fuel pump forced more gas past the needle valve than nescesary. And flooded the crankcase with fuel. Bad Idea. Just repair the problem and only use manufacturers original parts.

i tested the compession, got 160psi.

Sounds good....looks like you need crank case seals. Your fuel pump is probably still good so you can save some money there! Good luck!
