Convert Nissan NS5B 5hp from internal to external tank

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has done this conversion and if I need a new fuel pump, or will the existing one suffice... The motor is lower than the tank, so it seems pretty straightforward, but I thought I'd ask the voice of experience.

No specific experience, Ben, but if the motor is below the tank level, the existing pump that is integral to the carb should be fine...

As a dealer I use to install external tanks but forgot what was needed. No change to carb or fuel pump is needed. Remember your engine was built by Tohatsu along with the smaller mercury engines as well.
