Had two falures to proceed today, both caused by the same thing (according
to the AA), no power to fuel pump. Pump is probably OK as it seems fine when power is applied. First time it was fixed byt putting in a new relay. Second time it was fixed by...... ...... putting in an old relay. Any suggestions of where to start looking for the dodgy contact? I would post this to the yahoo group, but I've forgotten my login.... -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 2.0 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |

Biggest problem is that it only comes on when the engine is actually turning, so it's a two man job. OTOH I actualy *saw* it fail today (top off the relay). It looks like the problem is the connection from the switched +12v of the realy to the pump cable. Every time we've 'fixed' it we've been messing about at that end. I tightened up the connector and so far it seems OK.

And check it real good! I had it on my old 33. Finally I found out that one contact was not secured in the socket so it would be pushed back if you put the relay in. But it would _look_ okay with the relay removed. Solved by pushing in the wire from the back and check by pulling gently. >I would post this to the yahoo group, but I've forgotten my login....

If you check my second post, you'll see that the experience seems to agree with you. PITA to actually check though cos it needs a 'driver' to crank it when failed to actually test IYSWIM >>I would post this to the yahoo group, but I've forgotten my login.... > > Which group would that be? the 75group on yahoo...... -- Catman MIB#14 SKoGA#6 TEAR#4 BOTAFOF#38 Apostle#21 COSOC#3 Tyger, Tyger Burning Bright (Remove rust to reply) Alfa 116 Giulietta 3.0l (Really) Sprint 1.7 75 2.0 TS Triumph Speed Triple: Black with extra black bits www.cuore-sportivo.co.uk |
