[alfa] Re:85 Spider - No fuel feed - Resolution

[Gilbert Gagne <gil5941@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to all who responded to my emergency call for help. I finally 
found the problem: the rubber duct from the air flow sensor had come 
loose at the connection over the top of the engine resulting in a large 
gulp of unmetered air. The resulting engine hiccup was severe enough to 
trip the inertia sensor and shut off power to the fuel pumps. Studying 
the schematics at length, I managed to identify most of the relevant 
pieces and connections except for the inertia switch. Once I had found a 
reference to an inertia switch the rest was easy. An experience like 
this, while initially frustrating, is quite valuable as I now have a 
much better understanding of the fuel system and won't be so easily 
stumped next time.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
