98 Speedster 787 Carbs

[Jnz]

Going to rebuild the carbs and was reading through the mikuni manual and it shows a separate pump body. Should I have this? Generally it'd be an easy answer, but I got this boat in pieces and am finding missing stuff all over.

No, the fuel pumps are not integrated into the carbs, they run separate fuel pumps that mount to an aluminum bracket that is held on with one screw on each engine. They bolt to the MAG cylinders off the open holes in front of the exhaust manifold once they're installed. If that description sounds clear, lol.

It looks like I'll worry about the mounting once I find one. Found one in the bottom of the bilge. I guess the other wasn't included.

Is this the bracket the fuel pump mounts to? I bought to brackets, but it doesn't seem right

That's not right, it's a piece of aluminum angle that you need. I'll see if I can snag a pic today

You can see #36 on the fiche

If you look down on this pic you will sorts see it. It actually looks like it was cut from a piece of aluminum I beam, not angle. It bolts onto the the front hole of the MAG cylinder, just in front of the exhaust manifold. The bolt is not that long either, maybe 3/4" long and has a bastard 7mm socket head cap screw (allen screw).

I didn't get a good look on my phone, but those are for the rectifiers, they mount off the mag housing on each engine.

Look at the lower left #86

LOL, if you don't have them you might as well just blow the $27 on these.

Oh wow ! That seller is who sold me these two brackets with my fuel pump. Now that I look at the rectifier that's the bracket. I new I had these two already. I guess I'll see if he'll swap them out for the right ones.

 

[racerxxx]

That would be a nice swap

Thanks for the help. I Contacted the seller and he's going to get those to me. One step at a time with this boat. I sure hope it's all worth it.
