So, I have figured out that I have an electric fuel pump in the 742/743 that I have. I call it a 743 because it has a reman v1702 engine and not the ford engine that came in the 742.
I have noticed that when I put the key in and turn to run, I hear a clicking, I am not sure if this is normal. I'm reasonably certain that this is coming from a relay that is in the dash panel. I think, but haven't had time to trace the wire, that the relay powers the fuel pump.
This hasn't caused a problem really so I thought the clicking was normal. The problem I have discovered is that after replacing the front lights with an LED light bar today, the light flickers. It seems to flicker at the same rate that the relay clicks, so I can only assume that the relay feeds all the accessory/lights.
A volt meter gave me 11.7v at the leads that power the old head lamp when switched on and .07 when switched off.
So, can anyone out there with more experience shed some light on what I should do? Is the relay bad? Should I rewire the accessory power without the relay?
Thanks for any help.
