Help!... can´t find fuel connector for old Mariner

[ferryden]

Hi guys,
I´ve bought an old (early 80s) 15hp Mariner engine...shipped over to Spain, but can´t find the right connector to fit to the 3 round prongs on the engine.. the guys here say they don´t make em anymore..

So.. can anyone tell me if there is a way around this (eg ´fake´with a newer 2 pin connector?)

Much obliged guys!
(it´s been very frustrating..)

Cheers!

Take the connector off and plumb in an inline one. Job done

tell them to look in an old (1991/2) accessory guide or look at an old model on their electronic parts cataloge, or plumb straight in as suggested

I take it by ´plumb straight in´you mean connect hose directly .. using a circ clip to secure? I did consider this, but as it was my first SIB purchase, I wanted to be sure there was no chance of an accident.

Thanks very much guys!

Small stainless hose clamp (or two if you tend to the more paranoid side.) There are plier-removable spring clamps that would work as well.

If you go with the worm-screw type, make sure you source from a chandler, or at least someone who knows the difference between all-stainless construction and the ones using stainless for just the band. Household and automotive clamps are mild steel for the screw and housing, and will rust away pretty quickly (and be inoperative, til they fall apart.)
