Holy crap Batman!!!! That is one lucky SOB!!!!

If you pull out the switch there should be a part number moulded into the plastic on it somewhere. Then try looking here http://www.automobilearchives.com/part_number.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">http://www.automobilearchives.com/part_number.asp . They may actually have a NOS one.

Cheers, Carl

Sorry about your luck Martyn!

I managed to teach the wife early on that I REFUSE to step foot in a store from 22 December thru 2 January!

She goes sale hunting, I stay in the garage or whatever else I want to do.

She still asks from time to time if I want to go with her but she knows what the answer is before she even asks...NO!!!

Jamie, you got mail. Sorry it took me so long mate.

As usual, I thought I was caught up but management told me different!

I emailed the schematic to you rather than post it due to copyrights, don't want to get Admin in hot water and all.  

After looking at it i'm thinking there may be a problem with your relay/timer rather than the switch, but also see you could use a rocker type toggle switch to replace the original as the timer is not in the switch.

Hope it helps.

Cheers, Carl.

Thought of having an egg nog eariler but decided to have a nog nog instead. In case you don't know, a nog nog is where you have the rum and to hell with the egg nog! LOL

Jamie has the whole system Martyn, it's just not in proper working order. Apparently his switch for turning it on and off is daft.

I'll be pulling me books out tomorrow (later today actually) Jamie, as I have actually caught up with Christmas and will have a few moments to spare. Carl

[MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR]

Seein how I ain't never been accused of being PC,

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR

It ain't nuttin special, just helpin out a mate.

It's a rocker type switch that always returns to the neutral position.

I believe it does have a timer of sorts or possibly a heat sink built in so it won't overheat.

I would try taking it apart just enough to get to the contacts inside and clean them up then it should go back to working just fine.

I actually need to do the same thing with mine as sometimes I have to hit the button several times before it turns on.

I would NOT try to put a toggle switch in to replace it.

If you're not in a big hurry and can give me a day or two, I have a complete set of factory manuals including parts manuals, I can go through them and maybe get some more insight as to how complicated the switch actually is and may even have a diagram or exploded view of the switch I can scan for you.

Jamie, I know you said assume all you had is the windscreen but my Olds has the same system yours does so what exactly in wrong with yours as I may be able to help you with it. Carl

I wonder what the HP rating is on that little monster???

Let's just say I have an established engine builder used to vintage blocks doing some looking for me at the moment . . . .  

The company have been going 50 years and happen to have had a tri-carb Caddy as a 'shop vehicle a few years back . . . .

Would that be Brad???
