  1. I think it has only one function - to only supply power and maybe also earth to the fuel pump once engine is running. And as you know, relies on a signal from the coil to control stuff. I don't know if it has a momentary prime on initial ignition switch on as fuel injection and propane safeguards have. Think I have seen the safety box has six wires. I use propane safety control units that are just four wire, or even just 3 when mounting bracket is the earth connection

  2. Yep, transmission cooler. Might just be the rubber hose, but that steel line looks pretty rusty, so I'd bet it's leaking from further up. I can probably offer more, but best I know what car you have...

  3. You might also find your exhaust will foul the engine crossmember without those spacer plates fitted. Cheers Bennie

  4. it's the choke as previously mentioned, your choke isn't opening up all the way, and when the engine is "cold", it needs your foot constantly on it to open the choke alittle bit till it warms up (choke finally opens enough) and when it's completely warmed up you mentioned it's sluggish at low speeds, either it's too far opened (maybe the auto choke is worn or not reading engine temp correctly) when warmed up or not opened enough when fully warmed up. i've never had luck with auto chokes, i've tried 3 times on 3 different cars, so everytime i see one i immediately pull it and replace with a manual mechanical cable choke. chokes are super sensitive when cold and after it just ran across the city and then sits for 30min (partial warm up), those are the hardest for a vehicle to start, even modern cars with worn sensors. also if it still has the original hitachi carb on there, i would say it sounds like it's working better than intended.

  5. Amen to that (and not having an EA82 in general!). Cheers Bennie
