The service manual says the engine/pump assembly has to come out. On some other models people have said they were able to do it without taking out the engine but with the metal shield the 963 has over the tank that may not be possible.

Thank you that's what I've heard. I found one other option on that. I'm going too try tap into the fill tube and run a new pickup line down into the tank.I'll let you know how it works.

Others have done it this way too, not sure why they put it in a place that is so hard to access....
