I think the color is more a personal choice best left to you. What I can help you with is, to warn you against using the "grooved" pattern. The basic material is excellent and takes a lot of abuse - mechanical chemical and UV as well. Unfortunately, it is not true for the grooves. That is where...

Yep. Thanks.

I don't think it would be the linkage. This problem would cause the pump delivering no fuel - while the OP says fuel IS being delivered. If there is also air and compression, the only conclusion is the fuel is being injected at the wrong time.

Yep. That is what I meant. The pump shaft should be connected by a coupling of some description. There are usually 2 bolts on one side going thru crescent slots on the other. If they slip - you have a problem.

Hanging my head in shame :cry:.

Neither have I. Aren't boats full of things never heard of? :-)

Can I see ribs of a heatsink on the low left? It could be some split charge diode with a few fused outlets for the house battery. Just a guess :-).

Copied and pasted from your post: "A very large fluctuating load on the engine start battery ? If so what can it be ?" Anyway, what if you, instead of asking me for explanation of the different behaviour of the house and starting battery, look at how split charging works? The only "peculiar"...

In your list you have one point missing: TIMING. If the pump timing is not right, the engine won't work too well and in extreme case it won't fire at all. Worth checking, the timing can move easily.

You don't really want me to answer this, do you :-). Do you call 0.3V fluctuation on the start battery a "very large fluctuation"?

The steady voltage on the house battery pretty much eliminates the alternator. The fact the voltage fluctuation on the engine battery is lower than the fluctuation on the blower terminal suggests the problem is somewhere between the battery and the blower. If there is nothing connected in...

Nothing dangerous about measuring voltage when the engine is running - as long as you keep your fingers from the belts and pullies :-).

Copied and pasted from my post No 6: "To get to the bottom of it, you need more information. The first thing to do is check the voltage directly on the battery." Each other point of your post can be discussed indefinitely, if the the objective is to prove how smart either of us is. As my...

Well... Is it in any way anything else than what I was saying? Just asking :-).

Having some difficulties to identify the "logic" you are talking about or where there is any problem with my logic. But - whatever :-).
