"Hello,
I have recently been going thru my mothers boat its a 1994 euroline with a mercruiser 4.3 L v6 sterndrive with a weber 9600s 4 barrel carb electric fuel pump, in hopes to bring it back to life. it was bought new in 95 from the boat show used a dozen times or so, then sat for the last 12 years. All in all besides mildew and mold that all washed off the boat is still like new, I got it a new battery, changed oil + filter, drain gas put in fresh, new filter/ seperator, opened up cap cleaned it up, took out all the plugs cleaned them up and tryed to start it engine would not even turn over so after some checking I benched the starter to find out it needed a new one, after replacing the starter, it turned over, and the altenator was stuck, I wenched on it to losen it up, then after using some starting fluid and gas down the carb. and cranking for two whole battery charges nothing, I decided that the carb needed rebuilding so I rebuilt it and put it back on got it to start twice only to die after seconds it seamed like the carb was not getting gas so before I took off the carb again I checked the fuel pump again I had all ready put a hose on the line and turning it over a gas had come out but this time around nothing and there is 12v, but to think about it I never heard anything from the pump. So I hooked the 12v to it and nothing, so i decided to replace it during this I relized that there is 12v to the the conector all the time even with the key off I thought that it might have been the small terminals on the starter solinoid were switched but after taking them both off ther was still 12v at the pump conector so I am thinking that the old pump burned up because of being on all the time My question is should there be 12v even with the key off at the fuel pump? and dose the yellow/red and purple/yellow on the solinoid have to be on a certin terminal ? couldthe oil switch be stuck keeping 12v to the pump?"
