Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've got a 2H engine with this on the fuel pump to cut off the fuel to stop the engine:






Since it has to be pushed forward, instead of pulled back, I'm not sure how best to put a cable system in to achieve this. Anyone able to show me how there is or provide any ideas or tips?

Is simply fitting an original EDIC motor an option? That way you also get the automatic overfuel on startup...

I suppose it's an option if I can find one. But wouldn't this mechanical set up likely to be a bit more reliable and less chance of breaking down or playing up on me?
At the end of the day, the utes not going to be a daily driver, it'll just be used to tow the boat short distances and fun in the mud.

I also have a 2H in my truck that has mechanical stop and fuel over injection for start up.There is a bit of bush mechanics to get it set up though.Need to fit a longer arm to the actuator arm on the pump.Need to fabricate two cable holding brackets.Need to mount cables to pull from both sides.Need a fairly long cable to pull from the front,possibly a custom made.
Still my truck is proof that it can be done and works.Have been told though that it now does not meet ADR specs any more.
Cheers

Any chance of photos of your set up please?

um,shouldnt all 2h,s have the edic to manully shut off

Use a long choke or bonnet release cable (solid core type)remove the cable from the outer then coat in marine grease reinstall it then slide the whole cable assy inside a piece of 1/4 plastic air brake hose (to keep dust and water out).

fit a return spring on the eng so it is spring loaded to run position you may need to fab a limit stop
then you simply pull the cable to stop the eng

I have made many cables this way and they last ,never letting me down
total cost under $25

If you make it a push/pull cable arrangment as opposed to having a return spring. You can leave it in the fuel off position and un-labelled as a anti-theft device.

Yeah the automatic overfuel will make it start much easier.

Its a little motor, and arm and a ECU to run it.

that would be a wiring headache unless you had one originally.

Some early ones I beleive did not have an EDIC, atleast my Toyota manual says as much. Could be an overseas thing though.

It would be for me. My brother hooked it all up and added a factory tacho... Neat as!
