[QUOTE="bassboy1, post: 38795, member: 55"] In just over an hour. I have gotten my trolling motor, and main motor wired, which is all we need for a test (trolling motor is an easier emergency paddle, and paddle is to hopefully stay in rod locker). The problem we were having was not with the link and sync like originally thought. Instead, it was a bad fuel pump. We hooked up a fuel pressure gauge, and found that it wasn't sucking at all. When we were cleaning the carb, we noticed the fuel pump was rusty, and since we had a parts motor with a better looking pump, we used that instead. Well, there was something bad with it, but upon disassembly, we couldn't find any damage. The same pump also fits the '79 55 horse Johnson we have waiting to go on the Lund, so we snatched it off. Well, it leaked, so we started piecing bits of the three pumps together, and finally made a working pump. I couldn't tell you what pieces came from what pump though.... We are still having some fine tuning problems, 'specially at idle, but we are still going with the lake test. Will take the camera, and have some pictures to post later. [/QUOTE]
