Paul,
Thanks for the backup comment. I would hate to think I was the only seasoned member of this forum who thinks people that don't leave feedback are rude.

Jerry,
You need a fuel pump relay and a set of pumps. When you moved the pumps, you got the armature started again. The worn out pumps took out your relay and will wipe out a new one if you install one. The way you have those pumps jumpered is a temporary fix to get you to a place you can have the repairs done. Those pumps don't draw enough current to warrant a relay so that isn't really a relay. It is a safety switch which is meant to shut the pumps off as soon as the engine stops. The way you have it jumpered now you could pump fuel out of a cut or ruptured fuel line at about 5 bar after an accident. If there is a spark, I doubt if there will be enough time to get the passengers out alive. Best get it corrected.
