Yes it's a bad pump. I straight wired the pump and it did not initially come on. Thats where the whacks from a screwdriver handle came in. I have a new pump and SC oil on its way. I will install the pump and change the SC oil this weekend. Thank you for all the guidance. This is a great forum with lots of folk willing to share their knowledge.
If you have never changed the supercharger oil before, I am told it's best to do in a well ventilated area, or outdoors.
I've seen several references to this on the forum, and all agree that it STINKS something awful, pretty close to barf-city.
One fellow went so far as to say the best way to do it is to have someone else do it. ( Dave, don't go searching for this, I made it up )
