I have a 1984/260 mercrusier. Long story short...I've been having an ongoing, intermittent problem with engine quitting for lack of fuel....
Have replaced all filiters and water seperators, removed fuel tank and checked for blockage and cleaned tank, installed new vent and vent line and all fuel lines, rebuilt the Quadrajet 4 barrel carb, and replaced the mechanical fuel pump and problem still exists so decided to try an electric pump.
My question is can I leave the mechanical pump attached to the engine while I use the electric pump? If it's OK to do, should I plug off the fittings at mechanical pump?.......
