I was about to PM you to thank ya for calling me, i got your message. I was gonna call you back but i've been trying to juggle several things all day long.
As for the pump resistor, I have them bypassed on both GTPs, I have for years, they suck! LOL. Good thought though, I never even thought of mentioning that I had done that in the past! As for the mod, it bending tab 85 on the relay.
Hope to figure this out soon...
