Stern Drive Conversion
Got it...

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. --Mike Thanks for all that info - for the time being while I get this running while [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] Eisboch -- Message posted via BoatKB.com http://www.boatkb.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/boats/200702/1 |
