    The prob with that theory is that the Merc pump works ok with the same infrastructure, the trick is to find out what is different between the two pumps.

    The stop solenoid scenario, I saw in one of his clips someone switching the switch to off and the engine stopping. It didn’t appear to be turned to the right to provide power to the solenoid.
