Fuel relay is on the hold circuit, pull circuit runs thru the starter. Doe it start then shut off when you let off the key?

Some required reading.

The relay is only for the pull circuit. The starter is what triggers the relay. The hold circuit draws very little amperage.

Make sure the blue wire (fusible link) at the battery isn't corroded.
Sometimes they corrode under the insulation where you can't see it.
