Hi. I need help selecting an inline lift (fuel) pump. While on our annual vacation our engine (3HM30F) started acting funny. After running for 20+ minutes in the 2000-2200 rpm range the throttle would become unresponsive when put back to idle. I would have to work the throttle to get the engine to idle and it would have to be 1000 rpm or more to keep from stalling. Also; I’d have to put the tranny in neutral. After a couple of minutes the throttle would return to normal. If running in the 1500-1800 range there are no throttle issues. I have notices that the engine cranks a little longer than usual before staring. Perhaps 4-6 revolutions instead on the normal 2. Anyway while on vacation the mechanic that replaced two copper washers on a couple of banjo fittings for $200.00 said my lift pump was gone. Fortunately his $190.00 pump didn’t arrive on time. Torrenson had one for less than $90.00.
After spending another week in the Kingston/Thousand Island area we returned home without any issues but then again I kept the rpm below 2K and it was all down hill so to speak. Not sure is the lift pump is truly shot but for peace of mind I’m going to install an electric fuel pump and I’m looking for recommendations. Any particular make/model, gph, etc. Mike S/V Persuasion C&C 37 K/CB
