Hi slonomo -

Appreciate the reply.

Yes, it's the OMC Cushman Engine.

Carb, it is factory - Keihin (thanks for spelling!).

Fuel pump, my guess regarding fuel pump is that it was dead or not working, so the previous owner bypassed and got an electronic one. I read in a forum that the factory ones commonly failed (https://buggiesgonewild.com/showthread.php?t=41342), so that's my guess why the electronic one is there.

I have not down valve lash or leakdown test. Compression looks good though.
