ite here guys, I have a 255 walbro that the guy I bought it from put in there, he wired it so that you have to turn it on with a switch, well I accidently switched the batt cables one day and killed the fuseable links, fixed em, now I have a charging prob, and the fuel pump runs off the ign switch, if I turn the switch on it will prime and do fine, but it will also run off the key, so I took the switch out and took the wire from the batt to the pump and cut it off, but I still have a charging prob, I have to charge the batt every night and I only get like 3 startups from it, it is a 1075 cold cranking thing from orielys. So did I do something wrong?? does someone have a diagram of the fuesable links I could get?? and one of the pump? the engine is out of the car right now so obviously I cant drive it, and do all that crap, and I am possibly getting a 98 gt, but I want to get this straight before i sell it or put a nice new engine in it. OBTW: it didnt have the charging prob before the batt tipped over, then it went down hill. I got a new batt and it still dosent do anything after 4 startups, I dont have a radio, or anything like that I have an alarm but I doubt that does anything.

Thanks Josh.

charging problems

You fried the diodes in the alt. Reversing polarity fries them.
