KR> switch labeling - Actually Fuel Pumps.

I had the pumps on a separate switch and a separate breaker. I ran both pumps all the time. If one had ever failed, I would not have known it until the next start up. See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics 2016 KR Gathering - Mt. Vernon, Ill.

That is why I followed Mark's design. One flip of the switch, changes ignition, fuel pump and battery. If it doesn't restart look for a place to land. Paul Visk Belleville Il 618 406 4705 QW Saote: >Yea, I know, think of that and flip the switch...you hope! Trust >me, it gets awful

Good that's exactly my thinking. Many crashes have been caused by confusion or just BAD design (John Denver fuel selector). I know whats what in my plane but the next poor SAP should not have to figure it out in an emergency. By the way I will use that switch to prime and start the engine and

One more thing on this. The engine will continue to run for a few (maybe five) minutes with NO oil pressure. It would be a shame to have to put it in a field or in the woods because the fuel pump quit because oil pressure dropped below whatever the min oil pressure the switch breaks

Ok, so I have my fuel system installed and I am wiring the pumps. They will have voltage all the time and the ground will be selected to each pump as it is selected with a spdt switch. That switch is labeled "pump 1 and pump 2". That ground comes from my 5psi oil switch. So that the pump
