why not an electric fuel pump
 

Any reason not to put in an inline electric fuel pump in the gas line to my
o/b engine? Seems like it'd be a bit more reliable than the bulb.

Couple reasons. It probably would deliver more pressure than the system is
anticipating. Second is that is you get a break in the line or a leak it
will just keep on pumping.

If you do it... you want a 5-8 psi pump. I know a few that have done it.
Have it switch with the key, use the purple line that powers the guages.

I know guys who have them on big outboards when the tank is too far
from the motor. They do make a low pressure pump for this.
I have a little bit of a problem myself (air bubble in the sight
glass) but nobody here had a suggestion about if I just had the ball
(check valve) in the right place.

The safest installation is to tie it to an oil pressure switch with a bypass
from the starter. That way it only runs when the engine is running or
cranking.

What for a 2-stroke outboard?
