Had a break and quickly did the purple wire mod. Using a stopwatch, the GP's drop out after 8.5 seconds. This at least allowed a relatively smooth start, but it was a long way from the 30+ seconds that were expected.

Pretty sure that means the GP relay is toast. I've attached a photo of it below. Is that the original relay? Is it possible to swap in a later one with afterglow?
