a freind of mine just bought a 94 I/O Mercrusier 4.3 with an electric fuel pump. since i had a problem with mine, i took him through the steps to see where power made it to.

his made it all the way to the pump. we took it off and jumped the oil pressure switch and when the pump was held in my hand, on a key turn it felt like it engaged but would not run.

should this electric fuel pump hummmmmm when power is straight to it. you can trigger the key and it would feel like something moved but stopped. kind of like an impeller turning for a split second.

even when we propped it up against the thermostat housing, it would move just a titch on the key turn but not run.

make sense?

You really don't want to run those pumps dry for more than a few seconds, so be careful.
Mercruiser had a service bulletin on this exact problem.
Service bulletin 2004-01.
Best thing to do is post your problem over on the I/O forum, (this one is for outboards) and I will see if I can't post the bulletin there.
