[DML] Re: RPM relay (was I think my fuel pump...)

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are black ones and green ones. The black ones are considered an
earlier version and are more prone to failure. I am not sure which one
"primes". I think it is more an indivdual part than green ones or
black ones. IMHO I would consider the priming function "correct" and
the ones that do not prime "defective". Some Deloreans start up a lot
faster than others, probably due to the "priming". I consider that "a
good thing" as it reduces the strain on the batttery and the starter.
Since this is "undocumented" anyone's opinion is valid. Anyway, I can
not think of any way such a device could fail in manner where it would
"prime". It had to be built that way to do it with the timer put in.
