Need Help Identifying Priming Pump

[Bob Bradley]

I have one of these fuel priming pumps for each engine. One has failed and I'd like to replace it with the same pump, as the brackets are all set for it. The only identifying number that I see on the pump is 906e and I can't read the name of the manufacturer. Does anybody recognize it, and better yet, know where I can get one?

I went through this recently as well. I ended up finding a Carter P74086 and was 24 volts but same size/shape. I couldnt find a 32 volt replacement unfortunately and the 24 volt pump works. I would not leave it on and try to polish a tank with it though as it runs at a higher RPM as its 24v.

WAlbro , not made any longer in 32 volt .....Pat

I cannot find one in 12 or 24 volt either ..

Looks like Walbro/Carter

Is it rebuildable? Seems like Depco can rebuilt anything. You might ask them about what they'd suggest for a replacement.

That appears to be the one, Derek. Do you have any idea where I might source one or two?

12V btw.

There are two used ones on Ebay right now. They look old, but may be worth checking out.

Could you post the link? I can't seem to find it.

I am looking at the same problem right now. (Pumps look like the same cylindrical black units.)

Hoses were leaking and when we replaced them, we couldn't get the pump to prime the system. We were pulling our hair out trying to figure out why the pump was not moving fuel. Even tried removing the pump from the other engine to try in its place...that one wouldn't work either!

Then lowered the pump to the floor and tried it...it worked!

Now the assumption is that both of these pumps - apparently manufactured in 1982 - are just too tired to move the fuel with any real amount of lift required.

Guessing that new fuel pumps (probably 12v units with voltage adapters stepping the 32v down to 12v) would be the way to go? Any reason not to?

Any input would be appreciated by this amateur! (I am working with a marine mechanic on this project, but I am trying to learn as much and be as involved as I can.)

Thanks,
