Subject: Fuel pump: Final solution works! ;-)
Hi,
so after a few days of beta-testing I can tell you folx: The fuel pump
starter relay works. [please calm down the applause]. ;-)
How was it done?
I bought the Delay on/off timer electronic kit (Verzögerungs-Ein-Aus-
Schalter Bausatz) of Conrad Electronic (for Phone Orders call 01805/312111
24h Service from inside Germany), the Part Number is 19 59 01-99, it
costs 20,95 DM plus expenses.
The kit comes with a very detailed description, which helps any experienced
electronician to easily and quickly build up the device. I soldered it all
together, configured it for delay off for 5 seconds and wrapped the whole
thing with duct tape tightly. I fixed three cables for connection to the @
fuel cut relay. Then I put it all in a small plastic box and glued the two
halfs of the box together with pattex hot glue (Heißkleber), so that it all
becomes water resistant. I fixed the box behind the left side plastic thing
(linke Seitenabdeckung) right behind the fuel cut relay and the CDI unit,
about 1 cm away from the lock, which unlocks the seat.
After that I connected the three cables: Ground to the green cable of the
CDI unit, plus 12V to the red/black cable of the @'s fuel cut relay and the
third cable (output of timer delay relay) to the black/blue cable of the
fuel cut relay.
Now if I switch on the ignition, the fuel pump runs for five seconds, so
that I can start my @ with a full running fuel pump. It starts after three
days in the rain, as if I would have been ridden a few hours ago. ;-)))
The little box has a red LED light mounted, which I can see when I'm
looking from the bottom side of the @ under the left side of it's seat. ;-)
So it's easy to check, if that thing still does work, because of the
vibrations of the bike it could be, that electronics fail after a certain
time... Until now (about 400 km) it's still working. ;-)
take care - Marcello.
