So… I got my new pump, they basically sent me a new pump with the upgraded electronics, housing, and (unfortunately) terminals instead of the wired one I had.

So, now, I have 2 wires coming from my hobb switch on the fuel regulator… and 1 terminal on the pump to put them to. I can’t imagine they both go to the terminal, and I’m not sure which is the correct way to wire it.

I’m assuming one of them is a ground because according to the documentation for the pump the switch allows the pump to run at a variable speed where it is at max, then grounded, then max again. But, I have 2 wires to choose from and I don’t want to burn out the pump trying to figure it out.

Orange and brown from switch. Yellow on pump.

I’m looking at the top of page 4. Pump Schematic -

If someone has some info for me, **please call 901-1081**. I’m going to continue researching this until I feel like going outside and just trying something…

Looks like I will just run it on low… permanently. I talked to the guy who engineered the pump. This thing flows so much in the low setting, I can make 200+rwhp more and still not need the high speed activated.

Yay… the car is finally back.
