    Electric fuel pump wiring issue

    I started watching the vid but its 15 minutes long. It appears he is doing it correct, but that said It does run once started That being the case, all that is needed is a wire from the outside post on the starter (purple/yellow wire in pic) to the hot side of the fuel pump.

    Overheating

    Assuming umbrella type seals The valve seals should fit the stems and guides. If they are to big that's not good. If they are to small where it doesn't cover the guide is also not good

    LED Driver question

    Probably easier to place a meter inline to measure current with the transistor and a pot. Adjust pot until get the proper current then replace with fixed Mostly because I don't know what diodes are used nor how they are wired

    LED Driver question

    Well I guess that's my answer. Hmmm I was thinking of putting a 450 ohm resistor inline with just the hot side. Seeing what I'm missing guess that won't work 13.5/.0300 = 450 ohms Shows how much I don't know Thanks Oh and their are 30 LED's probably series/parallel Its an Ottlite

    1984 Mercruiser 305 with Thunderbolt ignition dies radomly.

    Agree with drill but take the distributor to the bench. Grind the stud flat even, then center punch it. Drill the screw out and if need be, go one size larger and retap. Can change the dizzy cap screws to one size larger if needed

    Loud, intermittent "knock" when at cruising speed

    Howdy Folks will have a hard time figuring out a knock without hearing it. You say its not from the motor, but being at 4200 rpm would have me thinking of preignition knock or a ping sound. Check you timing
