|
|
How do I get 12 volts at the fuel pump relay for the wire going to the fuel cut off solenoid and to the choke. At the moment when the ignition switch is on and the engine is running there is no voltage in this wire for the fuel cut off solenoid. Some suggest runinga wire from the + sideo f the coild direct to the fuel cut off solenoid wire. Is there a better way. |

if its a fuel CUT OF solenoid it would be attivated when theres voltage . so when the car is runnin there is no votage goin to the solenoid with means that the solenoid wont be attive which means your fuel wont be cut of witch is good |

In the TC Gemini when there is no voltage the solenoid cuts off the fuel supply so there is no over-run as when the ignition is switched off. One of the problems in the Gemini is that because the solenoid is not activated there is either no idle or poor idling. |

yeah, ran a wire from the coil and connected it straight onto the wiring loom that connects into the fuel soleniod relay. So the car seems to be idling good now, hopefully won't have anymore problems. Cheers Ben |
