01 Seadoo RXDI fuel pump spring and adaptor

[Czvas]

Evening everyone.
I purchased a 01 Seadoo RXDI during the winter with a no start. So I’ve checked compression, air pressure and fuel pressure and everything has led me to the fuel pump.

My question is soon taking the pump apart, I realized someone’s been in here and has removed the spring and the adaptor that is supposed to be there.
Does that spring and adaptor need to be there or just use a fuel line connect it to the pump and the housing.

That is an aftermarket pump. Very mixed opinions on those. The OEM housing has to be modified to make them work, as you see. Some say they work, some say they dont last. Yours apparently did not. When mine died, I bought an OEM pump from Westsidepowersports.com. It wasn't cheap, but it works.

As I recall, the purpose of the spring is to make sure the pump is sitting at the very bottom of the tank. The tanks are flexible and not all dimensionally identical, so the OEM pump allow for variance and had a seal that allowed for the pump to slide up and down on a shaft.

Ok. Thank you. I shall look into that website and see what they have. I’m in Canada so nothing a easy and quick to get.
