hey guys, having some issues bringing this engine back to life. Heres the background info- engine was partially submerged in rain water due to plug being left in and battery removed(this isn't my boat, a friends). I replaced the up trim solenoid for him last year but never got a chance to do much more to it. now, after replacing the starter, the boat started on muffs fairly easily and ran at idle without an issue(except that the alternator isnt charging and needs to be replaced). after getting it up to temp and ensuring no leaks and everything looked good- decided to turn it off. keyswitch off- dash lights and radio turn off but engine keeps running- not dieseling- running. another issue and possibly the cause is that the fuel pump runs continuously when battery is connected. after reading as many posts related to fuel pump issues as i could handle- this is what i think i know- no relays since its carbed not efi so a stuck relay isnt the cause. the purple w/ wht wire runs from the starter solenoid to the fuel pump as it should and this is where it should be getting power from but only when cranked. The issue was present with the old starter in place. I'd love to hear your thoughts on what to try next or what may be the cause. i wish i could provide serial numbers but the boats about an hours drive from me and theres not even any cell coverage out there. Not sure what else i can tell you. its an alpha one drive. thanks for any help you can offer
