Kiwi_Roy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Pull the plug caps and measure the resistance from cap to chassis, they should read quite similar. Check the temperature sensor as someone already mentioned the RH one has a habit of breaking and falling out. It went from running fine to crap right?

mo-biker Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Plugs could be sooted from rich running while cold starting if its been done 2 or 3 times without a run, so don't read too much into them. How old is the fuel filter. Clean and check every contact you can find. Free/cheap/simple stuff first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Not new , had it for the last 6000 miles . it was running fine , went on a 1500 mile trip a while back , didn't miss a beat . Going to Walmart to pick up some plugs shortly . Noticed that when I work the left injector manually , it revs better than the hand-throttle ? Sounds like Throttle bodies , TPS maybe ? How do you work the injector manually ? What brand spark plug are you buying ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Roy Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Have you checked the throttle balance, you say it revs better when you work it by hand. 10 ft of tube, a stick and some engine oil is all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
