Ok. If it doesn't have the T handle top then it's not a 500. For those that do have the 500, overtightening the T handle can warp the top resulting in the potential for air inleakage. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA On Thu, Sep 23, 2021 at 8:37 AM David Knecht via CnC-List <

Hi Dennis- The Racor looks OK, but of course that says nothing. I don’t know the Racor model but it is older since it does not have the threaded top that you can add a gauge to. Since that is a more expensive alteration, I thought I would replace the fuel lines first and see if that fixes the

What type of fuel filter do you have? If it's a Racor MA500, the top may be warped or the gasket may be cracked or displaced. Those are not infrequent issues with that filter. Either condition could result in air inleakage. -- Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA Thanks to all of the

Thanks for all the input. I spent all day yesterday on the problem with two trips to Defender for parts. I realized that I had detached the ground wire when I unbolted the fuel pump and when I reattached the ground, it started clicking away. I then hooked up a new fuel line from the tank

Stus-List Re: Fuel pump

On my boat the ground wire has a ring terminal attached to the pump foot. The original pump was screwed to the inside of the engine box with wood screws and the ground came loose during the delivery home. I later through bolted it for better reliability and no problems since. Knock on wood.

Unlike a car, our boats being fiberglass, require a ground wire. If there is not a black wire (ground) attached some where on the pumps metal frame, add one and run it to a ground buss. Unfortunately a lot of manufacturers use a black lead wire from the pump for the 12v connection.  I installed
