1984 OMC Sea Drive fuel pump

[Jweichel508]

I have a 1984 1.6L OMC Sea Drive Outboard, that I am currently working on to run again. Model is 2BBXCRA. I replaced the battery, spark plugs and installed new plug wires and tried to start the motor. It didn't start so I took a look at the fuel lines and connections and I noticed from the fuel pump that the connector from it was not connected. I looked around the fuel pump and down towards the main wire harness and fuel filter and could not find the other half of the connector or where it would connect too. I've looked at YouTube and didn't find anything. Also, I was wondering if there were any PDF files to be shared for a service manual for the Sea Drives? Thanks for any help. ​

That motor came with a VRO pump. Does it still have it?

That's all I know, except I have the parts list, but cannot post it (copyrighted).

Yes the motor still has it. I can manually pump fuel into the carburetor so I know that fuel will get to the engine.

That motor has a spot on the intake manifold to mount a fuel pump.-----You find that spot just in front of the starter motor.-----You could mount a pump like one used on an 88 HP model crossflow engine , various years.----But it also could indicate crankcase pressure problems that drives the pump.-----Compression test may help in trouble shooting that.

I was able to locate the pump but still don't know where the wires go from the pump too. Tomorrow I will post a picture of it

The wires on a VRO pump are for a ----" no oil " ---alarm.----The pump operates from crankcase pulses.----A positive pulse and a slight negative pulse.-----Sounds like it was set-up for mixing at 50:1 in the fuel tank.
