WIRING SYSTEM A-33

FIGURE 1

Attach home sized garden

hoses to water adapters.

Thermostat is NOT used, and

the water pump remains

stationary (not spinning). It is

important to run the water

in the correct direction,

otherwise hot spots may

occur inside the engine and

possible damage. Start with

a small amount of water.

Watch the temperature

gauge, regulate to 160, 170,

180, as necessary.

Turn water off IMMEDIATELY

upon turning the engine off.

Thus, eliminating the risk of

cracking the hot block or

heads with cold water

entering the engine. Let

engine cool down by itself.

NOTE

Ballast resister cuts battery

voltage down to about 7 volts

for long point life. If you need

12 volts either eliminate or

bypass resister.

NOTE

Most parts houses have in line

universal type fuel pumps that

are about the size of an in line

fuel filter and make for a nice

installation.

NOTE

Use radiator hose clamps to clamp

fuel pump, coils and ballast resister

to the legs of the bow under the

panel with weather stripping in

between the two.
