you throw the relay away, and connect a switch instead. One of the cables out of the switch goes to the upper left connection, the other to the middle low. Now you have complete control over when the fuel pump operates. Capisce?

why throw away a relay. leave it there to protect your circuit. You can either put a switch on the relay's controller (I cant remember the color but its in the on-line diagram) OR put a switch on the negative wire.

In my 80 there were only two wires. That made it really easy to wire a switch. I guess I'm just lucky.

Unbolt the fuse box from the car, cut one of the wires going to the 20A engine fuse, extend the 2 ends of wire to a switch, screw the fuse box back to the car.

Good point. The only times I've thought it was flooding it was REALLY the internal water leak that was causing it to start slow. Last time was on the SE. The famous Colloidal Copper fix did the trick!

With the REPU I always start it with the pedal on the floor when it is hot.
