So I had everything working well on my carb conversion with the exception of the fuel pump which constantly ran unless I pulled the ground wire per SirAndys carb conversion write up.
Now my pump will not work at all. I direct wired it to the battery to see if the pump was good and it worked. I connected a 12 volt wire to my relay board at the black/red wire #13 connection and it worked. So no issue with the wire. However something on the relay board or relay prevents it from working when the key is turned on. I was going to wire it to the 2 other points on the relay board to get 12 volts (T4b and the #12 pin on the T12 connector). However, with the key turned on, I am not getting 12 volts to either of these. the T4b, I am getting 2 volts and the pin 12 on the T12 I am getting 4 volts. My only other option to get 12 volt power is to connect to my coil but I have read this is not a good idea. Looking for some guidance. Attached image(s) |

With the key in the on position, do you have 12v at the ends of the pump leads? Running the pump off the coil is a bad idea. Post a picture of the relay board as it is currently configured. When you connected the pump to the battery, was that with 2 wires separate from the harness?

The only thing different from stock is the ground to enable fuel pump relay connected to the car body. |
