86 Accord LX: CARB -main relay equivalent?
 

I had all the symptoms of a bad main relay BUT after many hours of part removal under the dash, I did some additional internet searches and it was suggested that my carburated vehicle does not have this part. Embarrassing and a giant waste of a weekend.

So what is the equivalent piece that is having this occasional problem?

I can hear the clicks mostly when it worked but of course can't tell now that all is taken apart.

Sadly the 2nd edition shop manual I own doesn't really say much - it does mention the fuel cut-off relay but does not say much about it in terms of whether it is a likely suspect - don't want to put everything back together until I get an educated answer.

My thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.
