Easy , what is your battery voltage with key off ? It had better be above 12.65 v What is the battery voltage with key on engine off ? ______

Now , lemme get this straight ............ 0.157v at absolute closed throttle blade . Min. idle screw backed out , no choke linkage interference , balance link disconnected . With all this ok , adjust your TPS to 0.157v . No________ go back through your procedure and make it so . If all this is true. Reconnect your balance shaft and adjust your min idle adjustment screw to 0.540v .

Well , after you get going , you will want to get in your time machine and go back a few years and install it then .

It was . It's worth hearing again .

Better , as in NO problems ? How long could you ride before it started acting up again ?

What are Carb Tune and Twin Max ?

After the bike cooled down completely , did it run better w/no problems or do you still have issues ?

It does feel good to savor a bike ride . To listen to the pathetic racket of the clutch sounds , feel the short (now) throw of the shifter , the crazy MG sound , the odd looks and enjoying exclusivity .

I am wanting you to verify good fuel flow . That is the only reason . Remember , you are getting internet opinions and we are getting your description about the bike's symptom(s) .

Mine went kaput & I just ordered one from MG Cycle and installed it . NO problems , worries , will it fit , etc.

Make sure you have the fuel shut-off turned on . I have a story to ( not ) tell you about that one .

I use SnapOn because of the quality of the tools . I'm not sure how much the throttle shaft wear would affect the injection system . This "leak" would perform the same as the bypass screws being opened more . There is no O2 system to care how much air comes into the intake mixture or how much is in the exhaust . All air/fuel mixture is "mapped" according to the throttle angle , air temp , cylinder head temp and barometric pressure readings . Now , all screws came out except one of the fuel injector hold-down screws . I got the throttle body so hot it almost melted the injector holder . It eventually came out . On reassembly I used Loctite Green . This is just in case I need to do it again . BTW , Loctite Red is kind of ETERNAL isn't it ?

Is your pump in-tank or under tank ?

I can't guarantee your results . My bike was gonna work or go into the ditch .

Phil , this is where the word SnapOn comes in . Mine had factory sealant on them . Do you have a heat gun you can use to warm up the aluminum around where the screws are in the throttle body ? Be careful , this is similar to a self vasectomy w/o sedatives . It either works or ooops . The hardest were the screws holding the fuel injectors to the throttle bodies . My motivation was , I had nowhere to go but up !

I don't know how different they will be , but I will record the next event . The greenie will not run well in town . It sputters and acts up below 35mph . Everything else is gonna get me in a "whole heap uh trouble" . I need to check this speedo for accuracy . This little thing wants to go WFO !

On my valve covers , Roper plate gaskets , etc. , I used Hylomar on one side of the gaskets only . If I were replacing the timing cover gasket , I'd have to think about it for a while and look at the distance between bolt holes . This is one you would only want to do ONE time with no mistakes . One thing for certain , no silicone gasket "stuff" on gaskets . I saw an oil pump gasket pushed out because of this . Once bitten , twice shy .

Kelly , whatever you do , you keep this device dedicated to brake fluid ONLY . No mixing brake fluid with any petroleum products . Good luck . When Ford first started using hydraulic clutches on trucks , there was NO procedure that worked 100 % of the time .

is that a brand ?

Docc , if you want to move this to another category , please do .

Hmmmm . Do you have that much time to discuss ?

Is this a question or statement ?

This was a JOB . I purchased rubber boots to try them to fix my misfire , popping , running like shite , crummy performance , etc. I got no advice on how to swap them out & decided to DIY . I separated the throttle bodies and pulled them out of the way and took a razor blade and split the boots . I realized I wasted my time with them and got to looking at the fuel injectors \ throttle body walls . The l.h. side showed flooding and the r.h. side was ultra-lean . Then it was X to do something . I just started taking things apart . short term memory loss ( I bought/lost 3 of the 3mm sockets while doing this ) and the fact it took way too long on the injector travel time made it an adventure on reassembly . When you do this you will need an empty fuel tank , a 2.5mm and a 3mm (stubby) SnapOn allen socket & a 45 degree external snap ring pliers , picks and regular tools . Do not ever go cheap $ on tools . I will come up with a procedure when I do the red frame injectors and get them done . If I ever get smart enough I will learn to transfer phone to computer photos. If anyone wants to PM their # I can send ( today ) a pic of the throttle bores to see WHY I did this .

I separated them . That is where the 1,000 pics will come in .

PERFECTION . Today my bike attained perfection . I finally got my injectors back from RC Fuel Injection and finished the installation & adjustments . After two days of no-starts I realized I had a f'd up PowerCommander . Removed the PC and the first cylinder that came up , ZOOOM . It started like it never started before . I let it warm-up and took off to get gas . 1/2 mile before I get to the station , I ran out of fuel . Laid the bike over to get as much fuel as possible on the left side , restarted and on to the gas pump . A full tank of fuel and the long way home made me smile . NO hick-ups , nothing but perfect throttle response and perfect stop sign take-off and acceleration . 16k miles and a lot of sitting had me a clogged injector on one side and a poor spray pattern on the other . For anyone on this site w/any drivability or performance issues , please remove the throttle bodies and have your injectors serviced . This was NOT an easy task , be sure and take 1,000 pictures to know how things are supposed to come apart / go back together .
