Ok, I want to make sure you really understand this... it's important. The
fuel pump should only be working when the engine is cranking to *start*, OR
there is oil pressure. When you're cranking the engine to start it, there is
no oil pressure, but you need fuel. Once it's started, AND you have oil
pressure, the fuel pump works as well. The scenario you want to avoid is a
running engine, being fed fuel, with NO oil pressure.
James' advice is dead on. The pump needs to be wired to the cranking
terminal of the
starter *AND* (not OR) to an oil pressure switch.
