I have to ask another question.  My MicroTech ECU has a male fitting onto
which I connected the supplied rubber hose to the TWM throttlebody.  The TWM
throttlebody, however has two male fittings to which the hose could be
connected.  They are both in the same area, so it shouldn't matter which one
I connect to.  The question is.....Should I plug the one that I am not
using?  Right now I just connected a 1 inch long hose to it and stuck a bolt
into the end of the hose to plug it, not knowing if I should have plugged it
or not.
     One more question, please.  I just finished hooking up two toggle
switches to allow me to turn the high pressure fuel pumps on and off.
Recently, there have been a few posts recommending turning the fuel pump off
prior to engine shutdown to eliminate those few drops of fuel in the
throttlebody.  Do you just turn the pumps off for a few seconds and then
turn off the ignition, or just turn off the pumps and let the engine die
from fuel exhaustion, similar to pulling the mixture lever to shut down a
Lycoming?   Inquiring mind wants to know.  Thanks in advance for all replies
and advice, as ususal.   Paul Conner, 13b powered SQ2000, engine running.
