*Update - Disregard this post. I posted this question in the correct forum. *:cheers:
Lots of great advice here!
Just got this PWC and knew I needed to invest a little time and work to get it going. First of all I knew the Tempo lines were trashed, so I took it to my small engine mechanic to replace them. He said these were ethanol rated and were better than the new ones I would get from AutoZone. He cleaned the carbs and fuel filters and it runs like great.
We I got it home I checked here and realized I needed to rethink his assessment. I checked a couple of the easy to access fuel lines and they were green and corroded inside. I could do this, I thought.
I bought the AutoZone rubber fuel lines (non fuel injector style) and got to work. It took almost all day because I did one at a time and also pumped the old fuel out of the tank. Everything was going great until I got to the Carb. I got on this site and youtube to realize the exhaust manifold did not have to come off.
The carb was a pain to get off with my 6mm allen to 1/4" socket to extension. And Lord help us when we drop the stainless steel screw.
Anyhow I did get all the lines replaced except the last line that had so much corrosion it made the copper connection on the "pump cover" break.
I am trying to order a new cover online at the tune of about $100 bucks, but I'm not too sure I have the right one.
The diagram on the carb system is not apparent.
They show Mag/PTO but I don't know what this is referring to.
The part I think I need is 270500405, but I also see another part 270500409 that looks right too.
You can see pictures of these at parkeryamaha.com
Should I call the dealer to visually verify?
