Carb wiring. Is this right

Post by Sir Brixalot »

First go at tapatalk. Looks like I need practice. Anyway does the wiring look right bearing in mind its dual fuel. I've looked at Kev's post on this and mine doesn't look right. Could explain why LPG doesn't like running from cold

I was hoping to upload a 60-second vid but couldn't work out how to do it

Looks OK, the choke (red connector) can be wired differently on some models (connected to the black cables). Whether they are working through, you will have to check with a test lamp/multimeter.

Throttle body heater goes to thermoswitch cct on mine ( and shown in Haynes) on yours it's to black ignition 12V

as said choke heater can vary but mine is to ignition 12V so I'd suggest you have those two swapped.

Doubt it will make any difference to cold LPG IMO ( both ccts are on when cold)

I reckon that's right. Must have been like that for years. Will, there be any particular improvement when I've swapped them over?

Started it up and it'd definitely smoother either this has improved something or the warmer weather has helped or a bit of both. Thanks for the advice
