Hi, we need to replace a electric fuel pump on a 2.4 merc, Can somebody please recommend a good one and what sort of pressure it needs to run at. Thanks

Assuming it's carb and not EFI 2.4 used to come with a Holley Red top about 5.5 psi. After numerous failures (The magnets fall of the housing) I switched to Carter and as yet have never had to replace one. Available from www.realsteel.co.uk catalogue page is http://www.realsteel.co.uk/section6.pdf. Much cheaper than a holley and IMHO much better.

Thanks very much, you are spot on with you knowledge it is indeed a holly red top. Will buy you a beer next time i see you.
