New member, 1972 does not stop Options

[acebee]

Hi Forum Members

Just joined the forum today..this is my first post on the 914world...

please forgive if this is not the correct place to ask the question..

i had purchased a 1972 ( Dec 1971 build on the data strike plate ) and have used it for an year without any problem..

It has a 1600 or 1700 cc displacement..not sure which..with dual webber 40 IDA setup with computune & pertronix coil for ignition

most of the electric stuff seems stock for carb setup it is .. being smog free most of the other electrical stuff was removed..like buzzer, seat belt warning et all..

the car does not stop..when i turn the ignition switch off .

i had to pull the ignition coil to dizzy cap wire & then disconnect ground from battery to stop the running facet fuel pump

seems there is electrical feedback in the system..

should i have to replace the ignition switch and the voltage regulator ( bosch stock version with the yellow tape ?).. does the order matter..

Is there any other gremlin.. the real culprit ?

Confirmed on my December 1971/1972 model

- pressing Brake shuts off the Engine/Fuel pump kinda synchronously...

I will have to put in the 1N4001 diode in series.. on the Gen Lamp lead

Based on the pelican parts forum post - i need to find if it is the Blue wire as mentioned or the Red & White wire..seems there is confusion on that post ( Year /Model differences ?)

Big mystery to me is how come this never used to happened till date..& suddenly started

Fact : no electrical modifications were made to this 1972 914 - though I plan to put in aux fog lamps soon.
