If you are only getting power with the starter engaged, then you swapped
connectors with the thermo switch or the cold start valve. Cold start
connector should be brown. AAR connector should be black. Cold start
valve connector should be blue.

Subject: no power to auxillary air valve

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
