Unhappy Meth. Pump is spewing methanol out the side!

Who can help me with my newest problem?

I cut my wires to my methanol kit (Alkycontrol) in order to see if my WOT pop-pop was comming from a faulty control-box. AAHHH, it Wasn't!

Now when I re-soldered the wires, and turned on the Meth kit, the light is ON, ie (spraying constantly) and I cant figure it out. The fuse is fine, the wires are connected the way they should be. It was working fine before I "snipped" the wires.

Is there a fuse in the Voltage regulator?

Any ideas?

I did reset the white knobs back to "off", and put them back up their spots 11:00 o'clock. Once the knob is turned even slightly on (the blue knob), the red light comes on, and stays on, squirting meth in the upper IC pipe.

There is also Methanol squirting out of the pump when the light is on. Enough to put a puddle under my car. Please help if you have any idea.

Thanks in Advance,
Kevin.

you might have tripped one of the sensors when you attempted to cut the wire and run it w/o it.. try resetting everything (unplug battery.. etc..) and then see if it's still going crazy..

That reminds me of a joke, involving an Eskimo, a snowmobile, and a "crusty" beard!

I was afraid of that, BUT, how did I blow a seal when I only cut wires? It worked fine before the "snip"

seal

i blew a seal in my meth pump and it was blowing out the side making a puddle............it is prob just a coincidence orrrrr the way the wires are now is making the pump over work prob flowing at more than like 130psi which would blow a seal quicker

Thanks, will call them tomorrow. Why is my light on, which says I am squirting constantly? should I re-set everything? battery disconnect? what would happen if the seal seperated/came apart at WOT??!!! does this happen?
