Yet another Centech question

[brewdude]

I have blown 4 ignition fuses I looked and can't find any shorts. Is the fuse supose to be a 15 Amp? Where else should I look. I am running a Petronix coil and ignition. Thanks.

Well the only time I blew mine was when the alternator fried ! It went south and when i replaced it I still had no charge. I did not expect to have "Ignition" with a blown fuse but alas it ran. That fuse should be labled "Charge" IMHO. You may wana be sure you are not sending buku voltage thru the regulator to the starter cylinoid, that may be the culprit?

Every time is blows the engine dies. It will fire back up with no problem but when I move the key from start to on it dies.

Wow, I wonder wich one of us has it wron? Seriously! I wish I knew when that fuse was blown! I can drive around and fry a battery. When I put mine in I just called em with questions, they were really cool to work with. I would guess that now it is a bigger company and may not have time.

Ok, disconnect the Ign wire from the "S" terminal of the starter cylinoid and see if it will start? That wire energizes the voltage regulator. Without the fuse for it mine will run but not charge! What does yours do?

I am assuming some things here like no EFI harnes in the mix. :
