Yanmar engine spare parts

[Syserenity]

Hi to everyone
I'm stuck in Progreso, Mexico with abroken Diesel fuel supply pump. It is a Yanmar 2GMF 18 hp engine. Who has a good e mail address in the US to order the spare part? Tks already and good wind

If it is the lift pump, why not bypass it and feed by gravity or with an electric pump that you can get cheaply from most spare parts places. Just tell them its for diesel.

Regards,
Richard.

Won't I have troubles with the whole RPM' to develop, if not original spare? The mechanic suggested an electric lift pump.

I agree. A generic diesel pump will be the quick And inexpensive fix until the proper replacement can be obtained. The pump is only there to provide a positive pressure at the inlet of the injection pump. Should not affect power in any way.

These small electric pumps are easily found in Mexico.

Almost any kind of small pump will do...its the injector pump that controls how the engine runs. The lift pump just supplies the fuel to the injector pump.
20 years ago in a little 26 footer, I had this same problem and I had a small electric pump I used for transferring fuel between tanks...I just plumbed that in and off we went. I never did replace the original lift pump...didn't seem any point !
