SUBJECT: NEW STYLE HOSE #309363 - CRANKCASE TO FUEL PUMP FOR ALL V-50 AND V-75 ENGINES.
A redesigned hose of improved construction is presently being used on 75 H.P. engines to connect the fuel pump with the engine crankcase. This new hose has been strengthened by an internal lamination of rayon cords and will prevent hose rupture due to engine backfire.
The new hose is easily identified by its smaller diameter and by the herr- ing bone pattern on its exterior sur- face.
To install (on all 1961 and later V-75 H.P. engines) order - 1 - #309363 Hose 2 - #309523 Clamp (required to accommodate smaller diameter hose). 1 - #309740 Spring
NOTE: #309740 spring must be installed over the hose, covering the sharp 180° bend near the fuel pump, to prevent it from collapsing in this area. See illustration in Figure 1.
All parts mentioned in this bulletin are now available from your Parts Distributor at the list price shown in the current Johnson Master Price List. Order only from your Parts Distributor - the standard parts dis- count applies.
Sincerely,
JOHNSON MOTORS
