FYI to all you who posted. Two items repaired/upgraded and now the Generator is working. Hoot!
Needed new fuel pump. Needed new solenoid on the top. I used a quality local mechanic to get the work done right. No fuel flow was the real problem. Not an easy one for me to fix by clearing a filter. There was a bit of a story about the repair diagnostic but to make a long story short it was the right guy with the right tools that found the power to the fuel pump problem fast and solved it so that the right parts could be applied for a swift and complete repair. Changed the fuel pump to a smaller more efficient one ($75). Rerouted some fuel line. Key was the change of the old oil pressure solenoid that controls the power to the fuel pump. It was not sending power to the pump. (And yes we checked the pump with direct power) So that cleaned up some of the wires on the top. The old solenoid may have been bumped (crushed) in the battery system upgrade. But the fuel pump was and had been going for some time. Thank you to C & C Marine of Marina Del Rey (over on Fiji Way ) The owner Karl sent over a technician (Scott) who showed up when appointment was set, knew what he was doing and had parts with him. Nice. Now need to get that shut off pull worked out. Mounting will be a fun/ interesting. We are now looking forward to a full summer of Catalina cruising starting with the 4th of July Weekend.
