This morning my SC refused for the second time to start within three days, ten miles from home (nice small village without any car assistance, nor a gas station)

In few weeks I already changed fuel filter, cleaned up the fuel accumulator, verified spark plugs, fuses and distributor (cables, plugs). FP has 20.000 miles
Verifing again everything I found that the relais of the pump came out too easily, so I looked at it and saw that the cross-cuts in many pins were too attached



I took it apart with a blade and obtained a good contact then inserted the piece in his plug



The engine fired immediately

At home I rehearsed (rehearsed is correct?) all the relais and sprayed the holes with CRC in the fuse box and in the engine compartement

I think this small device will be an important and commonly neglected maintenance to do if you never considered this particular in the past
