So your saying your motor runs without fuel? If you add fuel it doesn't, right? \

That seems odd to me.

i have the fuel pump wired to a switch , when its off itll run for a short time (probably from whats left in the lines) but when its switched on it will not run. back of the ignition is back of the ignition when u put the key in the electrictian say its faulty but when he by passes it would start .
