A bit more on this...
I removed the clocks to find half of an old immobiliser loom and one box. I also traced a small white and purple wire to a relay behind the clocks and am guessing this is the fuel pump relay. There is an intermittent fault with the fuel pump supply, either from the LPG controller or one of its associated relays.. Clearly more digging needed to get this going! After charging the batteries I got the pump whirring into life (it’s new and so is the tank) then it stopped. Engine runs well when there is fuel LOL. Very frustrating, tempted to run a switch to feed the fuel pump and be done with it...! |

I have a few questions as the set up on this one is a little different. It has an electronic points kit fitted, and I replaced the coil with a Lucas sport one. The old coil had a condenser but the earth to it and the wiring had rotten to the point it fell apart on removal. When I fitted the new condenser and the new coil (keeping all the wiring the same to the coil but re-crimped with new conntectors) but adding a decent earth to the condeser, when I turned on the ignition the condenser got really really hot to I snipped the earth wire to it and that seemed to solve the issue. It started and ran beautifully until the fuel pump started playing up. Q - should the condenser be fitted and earthed? There are also two yellows, and two white wires fitted to the coil, unlike the diagram in the post above, I suspect that these are something to do with the LPG conversion? One of the white wires to the positive side of the coil has an inline fuse fitted too....? Any ideas anyone? oh and the pictures are from when I was replacing the ht/dizzy and coil so it looks a lot better now! |

Also,
Here is a pic inside the dizzy, there is one wire to the dizzy from the coil, and the other wire goes to one (of 2) connections that run up on the drivers side of the engine. One of these wires is a white and purple (disconnected) and the other is white (connected)... Im hoping that the white and purple is the fuel pump latch ? But.. inside the connector it looks like it hasn't been connected for years...should this go somewhere!!!??? Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |
