Subject:Help! No ground to the fuel injectors???
From:Zoran Mladen

Hello everyone!

Its been a few weeks since I have been on the list.  I
am currently transitioning between jobs, so I
unsubscribed to the list.  Will subscribe again
through my new company in about a week.

Ok, now on to my problem.  I have an 83 Westy
air-cooled that I just rebuilt the engine in.  Ran
fine before except for a dropped seat in number 3
cylinder.  Everything is rebuilt and installed but I
am having a problem.  It will not start.  I have
checked the fuel injection via the harness per Bentley
and everything checks out.  Also, I have checked and
rechecked the connections - everything looks good.  It
turns over, fuel pressure is about 39 pounds.  I have
spark to the spark plugs.  The problem is I have no
ground to the injectors, the juice via the double
relay is there, but no ground - so no gas.

Its a California car and has a couple extras like a
speed limited relay.  I also tried bridging the idle
stabilizer to no avail.  Simply no pulsing ground to
the injectors, heck, no ground whatsoever.

Any ideas????
