Eisboch-- thanks for the input. You were exactly on target. The lanyard
for the kill switch was coiled around the throttle and disconnected. Duh!

On my boat, upon turning the key, the fuel pumps energize for two seconds
then stop unless the starter is engaged. I verified this during a very
brief yet lovely sea trial at Lake Berryessa near Napa.

Thanks again,

Paul




Good deal.

Sounds like fuel injected engines operate the fuel pump somewhat differently
than a carbureted version.
