    Merc 350 Mag fuel problem

    Isn't what I asked Only a carb motor "may" benifit if the throttle is pumped, you do not have a carb motor. Since there is an issue with the restart then it may be the IAC (Idle Air Control) valve. Put throttle in "throttle only mode", and move it forward only about an inh or so. Do not move...

    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

    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
