Vacuum Actuated Cutout anyone?

Oh, yeah. Even short wires are still wires. I was trying to think of some way to keep it from activating always, and a throttle switch is all I could come up with. I came up with the idea when I was considering electric cutouts, as a way to automatically control the cutout. None of the electric ones use end switches in the motor, which would shut off the motor when it reaches either end of its travel. That's what prevents electrics from being operated with a throttle switch.
Plus from what I've read, a vacuum canister would be much more reliable than a motor.

Yes timer relays use a trigger, then are on for an adjustable amount of time. Needed for my cutouts. Go WOT which kicks the relay for about 2 seconds to open the cutouts. Haven't quite figured out how to close them based upon the throttle.

For the track mostly. But could be used anytime and keyed off my nitrous WOT switch.

why would you need a timer relay if your gonna run it off of your nitrous switch? the switch will kick it on when you want and then when the switch turns off the cutout would close. you would still need a relay to give it the proper voltage though. correct me if im wrong.
