I'm sometimes of the opinion that 1974 is the best year ever for an air-cooled 911.

I totally agree - early 74 cars are great!!

PS I did take a double take when I saw the photo

Great news - well done!!

Thanks to Sean for the clearer explanation. Graham as already said that connection to pin 53 causes no movement but 53b does . I've already suggested that he disconnect the ground from pin 5 as it is shorting the motor feed. He said the relay no longer fired when the ground was disconnected, but I'm...

That's a shame.

I suspect the relay requires a permanent ground at pin 5 in order for the onboard timer circuitry to run.

Oh well I tried

Hi Graham, OK I will bite and try to help. I must admit on your earlier posts, I briefly looked into this and thought to myself 'I'm not sure that relay is going to work for you' - but thought I would bide my time to see if it did work. Firstly the wiring diagrams I have for a '72 car are really awf...

And heres a photo of it when I posted about it back in August.

Replaced mine in the last 6 months or so on my '66 912 with the following.

Glad it was helpful - sounds like you on track to have it sorted

Hi Graham, I hope I am not leading you astray as I don't have an MFI car only a CSI and the implementation is different. However after a little googling, the wiring diagrams seem to show a relay is used to control the solenoid for the cold starting unit. The thermo time switch grounds the coil of th...

I can give you my understanding of how the thermo timewitch works from observations from my CIS car. Obviously you have a MFI car but I think the timeswitch is the same ( or at least performs the same function ). The timeswitch is made up of two elements. Firstly there is a bimetallic switch between...

Neil,
is the one from replicaparts not the correct one?

I would say that if when the engine was last run it was up to temperature when switched off - then as much of the contaminants will have returned to the pickup sump as there would be if you were to run the car up to temperature again. I would imagine that the reasoning behind changing oil when it is...

I wonder if they just pushed it the 20 yards to Greatworth Classics and said 'Angus just fix this for us'
