The safest installation is to tie it to an oil pressure switch with a bypass
from the starter. That way it only runs when the engine is running or
cranking.

If you do it... you want a 5-8 psi pump. I know a few that have done it.
Have it switch with the key, use the purple line that powers the guages.

Any reason not to put in an inline electric fuel pump in the gas line to

o/b engine? Seems like it'd be a bit more reliable than the bulb.

I know guys who have them on big outboards when the tank is too far
from the motor. They do make a low pressure pump for this.
I have a little bit of a problem myself (air bubble in the sight
glass) but nobody here had a suggestion about if I just had the ball
(check valve) in the right place.
