No worries, actually I think I read some old posts by yourself about doing something similar?
One of my objectives is a working tacho! LOL!
I did mess around with using an Arduino to display the throttle position, basically it read the 5volt modified output from the TPS and displayed it on an LED display as the throttle cells. Worked OK but I soon realised what others have found. Going fast while looking at an LED not really that safe. I suspect that is why Cliff moved away from his bike mounted MyEcu Optimiser display. Probably realised selling things to a careless rider in the States can lead to litigation.
Do like your ideas, I was hoping to play around with datalogging on the cheap. I must have a poke around and see what I can do. How important is a rev counter on a lumbering old VTwin, especially one with a programmable Rev Limiter via Guzzidiag. I would just be happy if I could find a working Speedo!

Hi 68C, Yes I have already made good use of GuzziDiag!
So imagine that but in a small unit that fits just below your clocks which you can display say any 4 or 6 PID's from the ECU. Instead of using a laptop. Don't think he's done an Android version for your phone but that would be handy too!
Could be bluetoothed to the OBD and run off a built in battery so it's cable free.
Sorry, did not read the title fully!

Google Guzzidiag, a very clever chap in Germany has most of this covered. If you are hoping to include GPS for data logging may well be worth getting in contact with him.
There is a great deal of info about this app on this website.
I will leave it to the better informed folk here to give you more help.

The old forum would jump to last entry in any topic when clicking on 'unread'. Now it seems to start at the beginning of the thread, is it something I am doing wrong?

May I ask how closely the members map will identify my location?
Bike theft is high in the UK with robbers becoming more violent.

Welcome from England, England.

Yes, also the part to the right . The previous version had an easier to see 'Unread Content' button.

I agree, it would be nice to have more contrast, everything looks a little washed out. Also the 'Home' line font is a bit small for use on a tablet.
Having said that, I of course have no idea of how much work it would be to change things. In truth I am just grateful this forum exists at all and would not wish any very minor criticisms to jeopardise it. Thank you very very much for your work.

Imagine trying to work on one of these in twenty years time when spare instrument panels will be unobtainable.

Funny place for a race number.

Hi Tinus89,
If you are really keen on bits of debris you could try following the directions of the old UK civil Aircraft Inspection Procedures EL/3-1 para 4.3. This was a list of methods for determining what metal is in the oil filter. Of course being British we had no truck with such complexities as Spectro Analysis. I hear there is similar available from the FAA.
Drain the oil filter and wash the debris into a paper filter.
Ferrous metal can be picked up by a magnet. Hot nitric acid will turn yellow or light brown with carbon steel and dark brown with cast iron. No effect on non austenitic stainless steel.
Bronze will develop a white precipitate when boiled in nitric acid.
Mag alloy will react with saturated copper sulphate solution.
Aluminium will cause a solution of caustic soda to be clear. Aluminium alloy will develop a grey or black precipitate.
White metal will dissolve slowly in nitric acid developing black particles in a pale green solution.
Have fun, white coats are available from all reputable outlets.

I love the belly pan and the green and silver. I have never liked the white 'mouth' or whatever it is supposed to be. If you have any green paint leftover you could pretty this duckling up a little.

Yes, it is inside the IAW15M ECU, that is why the case is not sealed and so vulnerable to getting wet.
-
Have you seen the 'Britten Bike Story' movie where he cools a new casting with a bucket of water from his pool. The man even made his own light switches for his house.

Looking at those blanked off push rod tubes, does this mean the old Tonti engine could be modified into a V10? I understand of course the motor would no longer fit a Tonti frame.
-
Are you getting any voltage to the injecters?
-
Try not to over think this. Just give it a quick polish with fine wet and dry abrasive paper and fit it. Use some gasket sealant, such as Hylomar NOT SILICON, if you are really worried. Those marks really are minor. What is the worse that can happen?

Of course you had to hack off the swinging arm lugs from the Vincent gearbox to put it into a Featherbed frame, If you listen carefully you can still hear the howls of anguish from the Vincent Owners Club.

A new Vincent Series 'C' in 1952 was about £350, the average wage then,for a man of course, was around £500 a year. Not many bikes now cost more than nine months salary.

I am rather nervous asking but what is bottom pressure?

Did you find the bit that got punched out?

Perhaps a wire gauze thimblse rather than a fine oil filter.

I still think the old first LeMans was a great bike. I managed to buy a six month old T3 in '79 I really wish I had found the cash to have bought a LeMans instead. Once fitted with T3 spoked wheels with a wider rear rim they looked great, I can still hear the racing LeMans climbing the mountain at the TT. Of course I would have had to go on steroids to be able to wind those 36mm Delortos open. (Do not try lighter springs, my mate did that and found the throttle would not close at full bore!

IAW15M ECU connector
in Technical Topics

This website has the socket that is a part of the ECU, they may be able to help you with the plug. You need one if building a MyEcu.
I just cut up an old ebay V11 l.oom.
