Yeah...that I am an idiot...

The electric pump works great! I had to install a relay to activate the
pump. The relay is hooked up in parallel to the electric choke circuit, so
it will turn on/off when you turn the key.


Not such a good idea. You need to buy a oil pressure switch and power the
fuel pump from it. You also need to pull power from the starter solenoid S
terminal to run the pump while cranking the engine. I hope your electric
fuel pump is of the Coast Guard approved variety.
