Honda Modification

If you have a Honda, you probably know that the fuel pump doesn't work unless you crank the engine. Usually this isn't a problem unless you have to make a fuel system repair, or run out of gas. You can crank for a long time before filling the bowls. You might run out of battery before it fills and starts.
Kinda sucks if you're stuck along the road.
The fix is to bridge the fuel pump relay with a switch or in a pinch, a jumper wire.


I never thought I'd need it untill I broke down. It saved my butt!
