It was probably something that needed to be done anyway since the boat was not run for a long time before you bought it.
Where is this pressure switch located? I would like to know just in case I end up with a similar problem. Glad to hear the boat is behaving!
Yea I am assuming it was the incorrect wiring on the oil pressure switch and on the fuel pump as well. Like I said I think the previous owner was messing with stuff and didn't know what he was doing. The carb. was also due for a rebuild because it still had all factory gaskets on it.
Oh yea she's running like brand new now. I'm sure everything was needed along with replacing alot of parts since it sat alot. So along with giving her a good tune up I also replaced alot of parts. If not I kept all the old stuff as well.
The oil pressure switch is located on the back of the motor right kind of below the distributor. It threads into the block.
Here is the exact one I bought:

So I guess this was an experience for me. Learned alot along with rebuilding my first carb and also did one hell of a tune up. Hopefully nothing goes wrong for a while!
