View Full Version : This just bites!
I'm in the last hour or so of finally getting my grandsport rigged with my new 260 offshore powerplant and ran into a hickup with the boshe fuel pump fitting. So...... I've been going all over to get the fitting and no luck but made a few calls and was told to try thre hydralic shops or impliment dealers. I put the fuel pump in the Yukon as i went to work in hopes that after i was finished i could stop by these shops get a fitting and finish this rigging and be on the water this weekend. Well i got to the shop and noticed that i could already smell the fuel and thought this would really reak in here and opted to put it out on the front bumper as to not forget about it. I worked real late (Not planned ) and got in the truck and went home totally forgetting about it and lost the damn thing between somewhere and somewhere F@##! Retraced my way numerous times and no luck what a stupid and costly mistake . Money is tight and well i'm just pissed!
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :( :confused: Can any body help a brother out?

There are different configurations of Bosche pumps and I do not know them all, but some are very similar to a Porsche 928 Bosche pump and can be retrieved from a Porsche service center or in some cases NAPA
;) Ken thanks for the kind gesture . MercNuts you are correct about the bosche pumps in the porsche as well as the mercedes.I am told according to our local napa however they want $571 canadian for them ouch? The dealerships want even more that's nuts. ken if you come across one PLEASE let me know.
Geoff go to Brucatos website he has the pumps on there for $155 thats about the best you will find and he might even take credit cards and overnight it to you. check it out, sorry to here about your bad luck.
Jeff
Thanks Jeff I'll check it out.;)

Have a fund raiser , to raise the money for one or a garage sale.
:p hster great idea i've got a new pump on order hopefully it still arrives by the end of the week. Maybe a garage sale is in order now that i'm looking at all this junk that piles up and you don,t use anyway?? Fundraiser that might be the ticket.:D
Sell your body. Oh wait, that would cost you money.

If when everything's complete and it won't run right, you can at least rule out the new fuel pump. :D :D

Who are you trying to fool. You've got the fuel pump stashed in a safe place. This is just an excuse so you don't have to show up at the lake for a whooping!
Just get a pontoon already.
Later Dock Boy.

Geoff,
Don't know if this helps, but if you have not found one yet, call me and I'll ship one to you. We can drink up the cost at Brainerd. Boz's gearcase is also on the list, so if you guys can make me stupid then you get off easy. Let me know and the thing can go off Fed Ex tomorrow.

The only thing out of the bag is the 2 mice you just bought at the pet store that are going to run around in that little wheel to make that FLIP FLOP machine of yours possibly get on plane! :eek:
Oh, I transferred your trader add for you as I thought you might have better luck here.
"WANTED, a set of outriggers to mount to my ALLISON so it will handle like an STV. Need ASAP as I have a hot boat meet coming up and I need to try and go fast.
