Re: Stus-List Ignition Switch Fuel Solenoid Valve
Assuming you have an electrical fuel pump, there should be a low oil pressure cut-off switch for the fuel pump so if the engine dies while running your fuel pump shuts off automatically and doesn’t turn on until the engine cranks to bring the oil pressure up. With that you carry a short bypass wire (alligator clip ends) so that if the switch fails you can bypass it and send voltage directly to the fuel pump. Feed to the fuel pump via the cut-off switch should be fused (6A perhaps? ... I’d have to check or research on Moyer’s site). I suppose also you could also install a switch inline with the pressure switch so you can turn the fuel pump off manually and run the carb dry. At the fuel tank I think you’ll find that ABYC requires an anti-siphon valve in addition to the manual shut-off valve if the tank is higher than the carb. This ensures that if there is a fuel leak the tank doesn’t siphon empty.___ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
Re: Stus-List Ignition Switch Fuel Solenoid Valve
I've run the fuel line in the lazarette to where I can lift the seat and reach it, and installed a manual ball valve, which I shut every time I leave the boat or for the night when on the hook. Once I managed to have it closed when I started the engine and just as I dropped the mooring lines the engine quit, but other than that it's worked well.

Sorry Joe.. I misunderstood. You're saying that the solenoid valve itself should have manual control as well, right? Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 23, 2016, at 15:40, Ryan Doyle wrote: > > Thanks Joe.
