That would be "H", the KSB controller.

Not recommended for long periods of time, however.

The "KSB" stands for something German (Bosch pump means German terminology).

The KSB advances timing during start-up and cold weather operation in order to warm the engine up faster and run better during start up; disconnecting it raises timing, but does so by increasing pump pressures in a not-so-good-for-long-term way.

At least, that's my understanding...

The Begle's got it.

KaltStartBeschleiniger, or "Cold Starting Aid".

Leave it to the Germans to use the word "Beschleiniger" for "Aid".

run power from key in run position to G that is the only thing you have to have to make it run and the wire to the starter solenoid , put power from a push buton to M & L that control D and all the rest is crap that dodge put on them for people that think that think when you turn the key that the truck should do every thing for you. Pull the spring out from under G and you dont even need power there just put a pull cable on the kill lever on the side of your pump.

B, E, G are the main ones. Thanks. What switch is wired inline with the KSB? Any info on the connectors would be great.

Thanks

On my I/c engine, the ksb is wired in with the shutoff solenoid since they both require 12 volts when running. I'm not positive the non-i/c version is the same, but I would think it would be.

You have something wrong. Non I/C need power when running and the I/C engines don't - they only get power when starting/first started.

Yes, that is true, however, the same 12 volt power is applied to both. The I/c versions use a temp sensor (thermistor) in the head acting as a switch to tell the 12 volts when to switch off. Non I/c use kind of a wax heating element to operate the ksb. I should have stated that more clearly. Must have not been awake fully when posting.
