Hello,
I posted awhile ago about my 74 midget not starting, got a lot of good advice
and are just waiting on another part (new points and condensor already bought)-
the breaker plate in the distributor (yes, I switched the wires and fried one..
DOH! I'm doing all the stupid things ;) ).
Okay.. here's my question...
On my vehicle, you have to flip a switch to start the fuel pump. It's a little
switch under the dash. I flip the switch, hear clicking, and then start the
car. When it did start it did 2 things. If I left it on it died; presumably
flooding the engine (what does that technically do?). If I started it, shut it
off, it would die; presumably not getting enough fuel. So I was talking with
my Friend Larry, and he said if I was going to drive it with this I could do
two things. Either get a regulator to lessen the flow with the switch on and
just leave it on, or drive turning it off and on... not exactly feasible. So I
was just wondering what you knowledgable ppl suggest. I doubt it originally
came with this annoying switch, so I'm really leaning towards purchasing a new
one that goes with the car w/o a switch, or getting the regulator so I won't
have to turn it off and on. I think that's all the information...
I live near San Diego, CA by the way, if anyone wants to cruise by and help out
a desparate 17 year old wanting to drive his cool covertable on these gorgeous
spring days! =D
Thanks!
