312-8 wiring simplified & fuel pump

[syncar 18]

Hello there,

 

Here is my presentation topic > https://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/93393-hi-from-france/

 

I'm having a hard time making my 86' 312-8 work properly.

Both electrical harness and fuel pump are faulty.

 

Problem is that I don't know which electrical part is faulty and unfortunately I don't have time to troubleshoot.

Therefore I have decided to redo the wiring completely and install a low pressure Facet 40177 fuel pump.

 

First, the simplified wiring :

 

Attached is the original wiring diagram for my 1986 year model, modified to delete all safety switches.

Red is the battery circuit ; Yellow is the ignition circuit ; Purple is the start circuit ; Grey is the rectifier circuit.

 

Is it correct ? Can I remove the relay in the start circuit or is it mandatory ?

 

Second, the fuel pump :

 

Shall I power the fuel pump from the ignition circuit ? Is a relay mandatory ?

Only I know for now is that I will add a 3Amp fuse.

 

Averall, are 15 / 16 awg cables big enough ?

 

Thank you so much for your help !

It is the informal policy of Red Square to discourage the elimination of safety switches. Safety switches may seem confusing while troubleshooting but they are there to avoid injury and death.
