Rev counter is fed from the coil, -ve I think. Its a green wire if the loom has it in.
I thought the fuel pump relay is fed a live from the ECU??? Maybe I'm wrong.
yeah there is a green one there, the rev counter worked with the SPi engine.Originally Posted by craig green
The relay is working, as it turns engine over, and fires, but it proper lumpy and stalls the engine as though its not geting enough fuel. We run a perm live to it, to see if it was that, and it was fine.
Cheers
would that work with a 1.2 carb engine? as i have no rev counter and wish to put one in? sorry to kinda hijack this thread
anyone else
the green rev counter wire is always connected to the coil on carb engines.
is the relay working ok? they are fairly unreliable after a few yearsanyone else
Does that relay control anythink else?
just the fuel pump, but there are about 6 pins
odds on a duff relay, and it needs to be a fuel pump type if you are using it in the current way.
you could wire up any old relay to do the job but that requires a bit of a rethink (not much though)
