We have Ignition!!

Well boys most of my problem was due to a crappy battery connection. . . still a question on the one relay that is mounted on rubber shock mounts. . . it looks like they do that to keep it from grounding. So I'm going to make new mounts for it, and then put it all back to gether and drive her. I'll let you all know how she runs tonight.
Thanks for all your help from a very happy. . .
Tim

The GPR relay and the AIH relay do not need to be grounded. The electrical contacts are just the four posts on the top of the relays. Large ones do the main switching for the battery to GP or AIH, the small terminals actuate the coil in the relay. The metal base is just for mounting.

And.... Glad you got it started... sounds like your entire problem was terminal related.

Umm I have to comment here, a PSD does NOT have an ignition system so the title is misleading.

Welllllllll...........from wikipedia:
The diesel engine is an internal combustion engine that uses compression ignition, in which fuel ignites as it is injected into air in the combustion chamber that has been compressed to temperatures high enough to cause ignition.

Plus it's a lot shorter than "We have compressed gas self combustion"


(...Just funnin')

AIH relay

Well knowing what that other relay is for, I could eliminate it huh? I'm not putting the element in. So I don't see the need for it. Well they are both mounted for now, I'm going to go make my intake tube and run er up.
