Remove the arm from the fuel pump (one pin) that turns on the cam shaft, now
just reconnect the inlet and outlet back where they belong on the fuel pump
and no one is ever the wiser except for the clicking of the electric pump
when you turn the key on, the diaphram in the fuel pump still keeps the gas
seperated from the oil, only difference is you now have a electric pump
instead of a mechanical.  "FT"
