Trying to track down a hard starting problem. I'm convinced it's spark related. I've been trying to track this down for over a year now. It starts every time, but sometimes it takes a few seconds or even a few minutes of cranking to get it going.
I have a feeling it's related to my dual relay not having a good connection with the plug. I found an old thread where @malcolm2 had a similar issue with his relay. Here's his picture: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-13139-1370716659.jpg) The plug doesn't really go up all the way into the relay. I tried shaving down the edges of the plug, but now it doesn't want to stay up. I'm afraid it's going to vibrate out, create a big short, and catch my engine on fire. Is there a solution that doesn't involve duct tape? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Should I try to track down a metal relay instead of the plastic one I have? I saw an NOS one a few months ago for $30, should have jumped on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Is there a source for the proper plug/connector? |
