23 Reo 232 #1 Posted December 5 When I install an electric fuel pump on my C165 can I simply run power to the coil and ground the pump to the frame? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 75,607 #2 Posted December 5 If the coil is energized during the start and run positions of the ignition switch that I don't see why this won't work. The only caution I would add here, ground importance can't be overstated. Original Wheel Horse grounds were adequate at best. Just a few years of corrosion... no more ground. That's why I like to run separate grounds to every major component. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you are using the stock coil with the built-in resistor, fine. If you are using a replacement with a separate external resistor, power it from the key "Run" side at a full 12 volts. And - add an inline fuse..... 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
