Fuel pump

is it hard to change and is it on the side of the engine with the metal thumb screw in the middle of it and 4 small screws hold it on ?

Fuel pump for sure.

Thank you for your input I will get it replaced

Yup, sounds like fuel pump....ask me....I know.

I just rebuilt the fuel pump on my 6hp Johnson (1974), with a kit I got from Amazon (Sierra).....$12 or so...a new pump is about $75.....rebuild was easy with the instructions from the below webpage:

Good Luck with it....!
