Can not bench test. You need to test it under load. You need the ski in the water with the jet pump submerged. Strap it to the trailer and back it in just until the pump is submerged.

No need to be in the water. Fuel pressure can be tested at home in the garage.

I have seen the aftermarket pumps test fine on the trailer and be low in the water or under load

Wix 33095 metal filter. Can be purchased at and big box parts store. Save yourself some trouble and while you are at the parts store purchase two heavy duty stainless hose clamps and be done with it.

As the owner of 4 DI skis, I highly recommend OEM fuel pumps. I have tried all others and OEM is the best.
Fuel filters on the OEM pump can be purchased at your big box parts store.
Airtex: FS242 and FS220

Have you by chance compression tested yet?

Do not use a jumper box ever!

 

[bdesim2]

Do not jump it!

 

[Discobaylou]

I got a new battery no jumper box

 

[Discobaylou]

Is this ok to use on our high pressure fuel pumps or a No No !

 

[bdesim2]

I do not trust those clamps. I only use oetiker clamps.

Have you ever tried these clamps ?

 

[bdesim2]

Yes. And I have seen them strip out or break due to engine vibrations etc. I do not trust anything personally besides those oetiker clamps that I KNOW do not come off. Again my personal preference.

Well, we are talking over 100psi so have a look at the original clamp system and see if NAPA or a hydraulics repair shop won't crimp the correct ones on for you. The tubing needs to be appropriate as well.

 

[jhjesse]

Been using heavy duty stainless hose clamps for years and never had a problem.
Most all hose clamps are rated for over 150psi, but you use whatever you are comfortable with.
They all work just fine.

I've been using regular hose clamps on mine for the last 10 hours no problem. I doubled them up on each side though. So I used 4 for the fuel filter

I used the fuel injection ones and doubled them up.

You should be fine. Like I said i just prefer the oem ones.

Well...did the new pump do the trick??
