Help removing outboard fuel pump

[Joe A]

Hi all, I would like to rebuild the fuel pump on my 1990 Johnson Sailmaster 9.9 outboard . How does this thing come out? I have one bolt removed but there seems to be another bolt behind the starter. I tried to remove the starter but then the flywheel seems to be in the way.
I can guess the steps as follows:
1. Remove flywheel
2. Remove starter
3. Remove fuel pump
I am hoping that someone here has done this before and can save me some trial and error. Can I just pull the flywheel off or might I break something in the process. If not I'll break down and order a service manual but I'm never sure that the information I need will be in there. The engine is electric start, tiller version, model # J10SELESC
Thanks in advance,
Joe

I was in a shop waiting for a part to be made last week, and while waiting I read the Clymer manual for our 1990 9.9hp Evinrude (pretty much same as your Johnson). It had pretty good material and I think the Clymer manual is a lot less than a shop manual, and you can find them easier.

If you're going to service your own engine, it's worth getting the shop manual. You can find slightly used ones on ebay. Note contact the seller to make sure your model number is in the book.
