1986 100hp Johnson VRO
 

WOW thanks guys for all the quick responses I like the Holly suggestion
being an electrician it sounds very logical to me and cheaper than the
Johnson pump to boot! I'll let you all know how it turns out. I live on the
west coast any parts sources would be good to know so far I've found
MarineEngines.com and they look pretty good with lots of info on trouble
shooting and such.

Thanks again

Mick
