Subject:no power to auxillary air valve
From:Jake Beaulieu

Howdy,

I have been having problems with the idle on my air cooled 82 Westy.  I did a
full troubleshooting of the ignition and fuel injection system this morning and
narrowed the problem down to the auxillary air regulator (AAR).  This is
consistent with the symptoms and somebody on the list suggested this was the
problem.  The AAR checks out electrically but does not close after five minutes
when the ignition is on(Bentley 24.9).  I tested the electrical lead to the AAR
and it is only getting  power when the starter is engaged, no power with the
ignition on.

So, I think the AAR is fine (replaced about a year ago), but it isn't getting
power.  Why?  There is another test in the Bentley, but I am not sure how to do
it.  Check out Bentley 24.15.  It says that the AAR and wires can be checked by
connecting an Ohmmeter to terminal #34 at the ECU plug and #37 at the double
relay.  However, I can't find a terminal labeled #37 at the double relay.  Any
suggestions?

Thanks
Jake
