there is a cable comes from the thermo housing to the fuel pump that operates a lever with a grounding point on it. When the engine is cold, should this lever be pulled to connect the circuit? Ie with engine off and cold should I have it so it has connected the circuit then when thermo opens at normal operating temp it will release tension on the cable and shut of the cold start advance gizmo inside the pump?
Hope that makes sense. It should hopefully be the last little niggle on my car now.

There is a measurement of the amount of slack there should be on a hot engine; 6mm springs to mind..
