[QUOTE="starbiscuit, post: 615099, member: 18416"] I guess you could do something similar with a relay operated by the generator charge light with a "cranking" override to get it started. But on my bus both the charge light and oil pressure light come on when stopping at traffic lights after a long run. Probably not long enough for the carb to run dry. Crash switches are supposed to stop the engine; you could wire the coil and carb anti-run-on plunger through it to make sure, rather than rely on engine stopping in the event of a crash. Depends what you want to achieve. Either way, both mechanical and electric pumps will keep delivering into a leaky pipe if the engine keeps running. Perhaps there isn't a simple solution for that.
