    Default old motors


    Does anybody know how to convert an older 7.5 HP Eska to modernish fuel pump operation? I can get the motor for $50 but it is still set up for the crappy and obsolete Eska system and I want to switch it over using an Evinrude pump.

    Aka motor are ones you have to like. Air cooled and noisiest motors I’ve ever owned, not a powerhouse either. The 15 I had was called one way, guess why.

    I’ve had a couple eskas, a 5 and a 7.5. I didn’t have any real issues with mine. I never worried about the fuel pump, guess I got lucky

    If just got to have It try using a riding mower fuel pump on it but have to have a place to get pulse from you engine.Pull your riding mower fuel pump off so you wont have to buy one and it dont work.
