Thanks for the link, but @ 45 bucks, I'll fab one from 1/8" aluminum angle iron, which I have
Hey Dave, I knew you would be here sooner or later Can you answer my questions on the relays?

Thanks fellows for the prompt replies. Might as well "Dump the Pump" at this time.
Question: If I remove the pump and bracket, where or how have you mounted the Enricher/Choke cable? It looks to be mounted at the lower portion of the pump bracket.
I'd still like to know which of the three relays do what? One looks to have up to 8 wires leading to it and the other two have 4 wires each. Two black and one white.
Thanks, Jinx
SSCC has one. It's about 3/4 way down the page.

No worries. Just so you have options. BTW, I made my own as well. I included a spot for the Roadwing preload switch and had it powder coated.

The power pulse to the pump with just turning the key on only lasts a couple of seconds, then it removes power. It's like a priming cycle. While you are pissed at it, go ahead and dump it. If you don't, you could end up on the side of US 421 about 40 minutes south of Eureka Springs doing a half assed plumb around to do the OTHER 400 miles to get home. Or something like that.
I know at least one person that would categorically deny, until his dying breath (or his dying pump) that this EVER happened!!!
Except for the evidence.

I've removed the pump and carb. Parts are on the workbench. This is taking a few days, as Grandpa has been baby sitting his 19 month old grand daughter.
I do have a comment on the OEM fuel line. "What a dumb idea clamping the carb heater and TPI wires to the steel fuel line and then covering with heat tape" Pretty much can't pull just the fuel line.
Thanks fellows

Just returned home from 240 mile round trip visiting family in Navarre Ohio, running pumpless. No problems, need to cleanup hose routing and choke cable bracket. Had little time to get bike ready for weekend, thanks
