fuel pump

["Drinkware" <marvin@xxxx>]

[moderators note: Remember, one of the jobs the RPM relay does is look for the RPM's to pick up when the engine starts. If it doesn't see this within a specific time it shuts off the fuel pump. With the pump running outside the realm of the RPM relay you may very likely flood the engine]


2 different people and I fixed mine 2 ways.
#1 way - small toggle switch installed under the ashtray; wire from pump to toggle switch; wire frrom toggle switch to #11 fuse with an inline 20 amp fuse; bypasses the rpm relay; wire from fuel pump to the inertia switch (before); downside is the pump is on when the ignition is on; in the event of an accident = problem!

#2 way - 2 new wire end connections on the pump; replace inertia switch, new RPM relay, maybe also clean harness ground wire.

by doing both, I feel I will never have a dead fuel pump, but must keep the switch off unless a problem arises and the pump doesn't work -------- a short time fix and in an emergency situation only. 

However, I ain't no mechanic!!
