fuel shut off solenoid - dandarst - 07-10-2005 14:01
Has anyone removed the fuel shut off solenoid to know what the
mechanical linkage looks like? I am interested in pulling it out and
rotating it 180 degrees so that the two electrical connectors point to
the rear instead of the front. This in preparation for installing a
320 amp alternator.

It's not scary, it will rotate with out removing.

fuel shut off solenoid - morgooder - 04-14-2007 07:40
I have an intermittent problem with my fuel shut off solenoid. Engin
wont start, right now I'm reading 6.5 volts at terminal. Does anyone
know where this wire is fed from. Thinking about running a new wire
from starter solenoid but would rather fix original wire. Don't see
this on my drawings. 84 FC 31'
Thanks

Morgooder, I dont know where the wire is fed from. But some where
there is a write up on a wiring upgrade where you install a relay and
use the LOW voltage hot wire to the sol. to activate the new relay and
then run a new GOOD hot wire threw the relay on to the fuel shut off
sol.to keep 12v to the sol. at all times. Worked for me. Maybe its in
the files sec. not sure. Hope this helps. Tom 90 SP36 Alpharetta GA

fuel shut off solenoid - Richard Hayden - 04-15-2007 04:43
This is common problem on the FC's. I solved it by installing a 70amp Bosch
relay in the engine space near the fuel solenoid. I used the existing wire off
of the the fuel solenoid and got 12vdc from the back of the alternator. It is
important to use a heavy duty fuse on the alternator wire. I can't remember the
size but try 30 amp to start. The original wire comes from a circuit breaker on
the left front behind the access door on the outside. Changing this circuit
breaker this won't necessarily solve the problem but you could try. I didn't, I
just installed the new relay as described above.
Good luck. Please sign your name and location on your posts.
