For anyone who’s swapped out the fuel lift pump on a 2003 M35B for a FACET lift pump—did the fuel threads match up, or did you embark on the legendary “10 trips to the parts store” saga?
I have M35B and replaced the fuel pump with the original part. I only had to pull out the fuel hose and reattach to the new pump. There was no threading to do.
Does this mean that the new pump did not come with barbed ends? A photo would be good or an image from its website.
I'm interested in getting a back up pump. The westerbeak one is $238 from CD and other sources. Then there are a bewildering selection of Facet pumps of various lifts and psi that are less than half the price. Please enlighten us when you figure out what works. Does anyone know the simple answer or should I do like Haro and just buy the westerbeak one and pay extra for the convenience of an easy fit and piece of mind there after.
