What is the proper size of the fuse for the fuel pump, the one on the relay board? If your blowing that fuse does it mean the pump is going or gone?

Ian,
Sounds like your AAR may be stuck. A lot of that going around. You can check for proper operation by removing the line from the AAR to the air cleaner and putting your finger over it. Do this just after start up. If the idle goes down, your AAR is open. A few minutes later after the engine is warmed up, do the same test. Putting your finger over the line should make no change and you should feel no vacuum on it. Replace that taped wire soon!! At rhe very least, heat shrink it. Electrical tape when heated tends to let go. Tom |

If the wire grounds out again there's no guarantee the 25A fuse will protect the ignition harness from meltdown -- an expensive and messy problem. Afterwards, and since I wanted to keep the power going to my blower, I did as Tom suggested and installed a simple in-line fuse for the AAR. It required no more time than just splicing a new wire. Since your also having an idle issue you may as well R&R the AAR or it will continue to fight you. Some suggest bypassing, but you may like having it up there in N.B. Here's to your making the show. |
