Yamaha - Fuel Pump Bushing - Fuel System | 6E5-24492-00-00

Overview

This is one of those small parts that doesn’t get much attention until something feels off in the fuel system. The fuel pump bushing helps keep everything aligned and moving the way it should inside the pump. When it wears out, you can start getting inconsistent fuel delivery without an obvious cause. It’s a simple fix, but it makes a noticeable difference in keeping the engine running steady.

Key Features

• Precision Support Fit – Keeps internal fuel pump components aligned for proper operation.
• Wear-Resistant Material – Built to handle constant movement and fuel exposure over time.
• Smooth Component Movement – Reduces friction inside the pump for consistent fuel delivery.
• Direct Replacement Design – Matches original specifications for easy installation and proper fit.

Engine & Boat Compatibility

Designed for Yamaha 2-stroke outboard engines using diaphragm-style fuel pump systems. Commonly used on smaller horsepower motors found on fishing boats, skiffs, and utility vessels.
