Thanks for the info on the tank Terry. I tried to fire it today, I drained the old gas out of the motor and feed it with new gas, but the fuel pump is partially gummed up, we can hear it run but it is sluggish. My marine buddy is running the pump tonite in his cleaning tank and he said sometimes this will starighten it out. He says this is normal with motors that sit for a while and is becoming more common with the ethenol in the fuel.
I'm working on it, I'll have it running soon. You will have to come down one weekend and run the boat after we get her going.

Where can I get another fuel pump (90psi) and what do you think it would cost?

ebaisc power not sure on the price, if you have the large two pump vapor separator, they won't sell teh low pressure one by itself, you have to get the assembly, it runs around $750, If you have just a seprate pressure pump, I think Volvo gets around $250, aftermarket somewhere around $100. If you don't see it on basic powers web site, call them, drive down adn pick it up, while you're there throw a line out off the cape
Oh, forgot to say, only try reversing the power with the pump off the engine, would'nt want to start a fire and burn your V up
