Thanks guys! If the internal fuse is blown, will it read at all? Still getting amp readings. I was surprised, thought 10a and boom!
Pump relay was right where you said it was, thanks enblethen. I pulled it this morning before work, plan on doing amp readings this evening with it out.
Engine is not seized, actually had it spudder on starting fluid and build oil pressure, so that was a relief. (Did make me pucker a little until it rolled over). My background is high performance/offshore race boats, so when they sit for awhile, we just pull everything and go through it. I built this motor and redesigned the injection system, but it's still just a motor that's been sitting for awhile! haha! Kind of my first attempt at starting something "as is-where is" and I must say, it's been kind of different.
I used some stuff called Pri-G in the fuel, then added 5 gallons of premium. I use it to winterize boats and atvs, etc. Snake oil guys on Youtube claim it will at least make old gas burnable, others say it will return it to factory fresh (hmm), but we'll see if it works at all in this application.
I have changed all the ground wires to the battery bank (6v are out right now) and made sure I had good ground to all components and drivetrain. Didn't get an opportunity to test anything, as by the time I spent messing with it yesterday, it got late and my older battery wasn't charged enough to be accurate I didn't think, so I just packed it in for the night.
Hope to be able to get onto it tonight. Still not getting fuel to the TBI either, so seeing if that is a symptom or separate issue.
Thanks again for all the help! Good ideas all! I'll keep you posted.
