See how to rebuild the fuel system on your Mercury 40 HP EFI outboard in this video from Boats.net. This motor hasn’t run in a while, so we knew going in that there were going to be issues. What we didn’t was that the motor would be missing a fuel pump! We’ll get that first fuel pump replaced, and then we’ll dig deeper into the fuel system.
John will show you how to remove the VST and open it to inspect the components. We’ll replace the VST pump and the float needle, and then get the tank closed back up and reinstalled.
