Conquest light switch wiring

The DJ254 NDHC restoration is nearing the end….hopefully. I have installed a new wiring loom….just followed the wiring diagram, however, I have a problem with the light switch.

Re: Special Sports fuel issue

Thanks Norfolk Lad & DBnJ. I am aware of the issue with the cam having been caught before. In this instance that is not the problem. The really puzzling thing is the intermittent occurances. I will take the AC pump off once more and have another look before giving up and going electric. Maybe, j...

Re: Special Sports fuel issue

There is a purple wire - constant live but fused - that I could use in conjunction with a switch to the pump - an added security feature?

Re: Special Sports fuel issue

After messing around and feeling relieved that I had fixed the fuel supply problem it returns. Sometimes the AC pump will prime really easily and other times it just won't prime. Everything has been checked and rechecked and I am now giving up in frustration on the AC pump (been rebuilt twice) and g...
