It is easier to do than you think . Read , reread and execute . Disconnect the balance rod . Adjust the l.h. idle screw in until you can hold the 0.002" feeler ga. with the screw against the throttle linkage , remove and turn the idle screw 1/6 of a turn in . Now , Put this 0.002" feeler gauge between the r.h.idle stop screw and the throttle plate "plate" and tighten the screw until it holds the feeler gauge . Connect the balance shaft rod and make sure there is still pressure holding the feeler gauge . I use the pin that goes into the throttle body instead of the ball/socket of the balance rod . There is an e-clip holding this pin in position . Be careful removing it . This is easier and more precise . You want to adjust this "knob" so the pin goes into it's position easily . With all this in place , start tightening the white knob , when things are correct , the feeler gauge falls out and you are done . PERFECT , no . Good enough for me , yes . I regret not being smart enough to post pics or videos . Go over the directions until you can do this w/o thinking or second guessing yourself . I use the 0.002" blade because that is as thin as my set goes and I leave it the gauge with the rest of the assy. to give it some weight . This is because it will fall as soon as it gets loose . i

First , remove the oil pressure switch , cover the hole with a rag , crank it up to see if oil shoots out . if not , remove the oil filter cover to see if the filter is on and on correctly . If you did get a spray of oil , it is probably an oil pressure sender . This does happen . Simply replace it .

Well , you didn't loan yours out either . I wasn't there to see how it happened and I got everything back but the Hg . Did you keep the Flintstone mobile dialed in ?

Experience . Both good and bad

You use a manometer with mercury and you will see the mercury disappear at the first blip of the throttle ! P.S. any fluid will do the same thing .

Ahhh , you haven't lived until something expensive hits the ground . Dwell meters , DVOMs , timing lights into the fan .

As in completely closed throttle plate / 0.157 V ?

Don't worry , there will always be a third , then a fourth .

Air leaking at / from the throttle shafts is irrelevant to anything . This air introduction into the intake runner is the same as adjusting the idle air screw(s) . The only time something like this matters is , if a MAF and or an O2 sensor is involved . This is the most basic form of fuel injection I have ever seen with no MAP sensor , no 02 sensor , the way this system transitions from open to closed loop , the lack of a vacuum hose on the fuel pressure regulator , MANY things . This could have had everything incorporated and a BADASS system ! af

Uhhhh , can you explain this word burr and mechanism a little more ?

ok . # 1 the TPS is to be adjusted ( if you don't have the TPS jumper , you can measure at the pcm ) to 0.157 v at closed throttle , idle stop screw backed out & not touching , throttle balance rod unhooked . Then adjust throttle linkage , THEN after everything is PERFECT , adjust the idle stop screw to =.450 v . I have some procedures ( somewhere on this site ) to give you advice on how to do this . Read , read and reread until you understand this . After your epiphany , you will be POd that you made something difficult out of something so easy . Good luck & HTH

Why does everyone else's bike look PERFECT ?

You will do exactly like I did , live with it and don't dwell on it . I know SAE says you need the width of the nut on a fastener . This just doesn't look right and I don't think two threads on two nuts is going to destroy your bike .

Uh oh ! I mentioned them a while back and got shot down breathing a word about them . BTW , these spark plugs are the result of running way too rich . Have you properly synched the throttle bodies , adjusted the min air screws and set the TPS ? This may not do any good but you will eliminate this as a factor .

Are you good w/a DVOM and reading wiring diagrams ? Check the resistance of both the air temp sensor and the cylinder head ( oil temp ) sensor at the ECU connector . They had better be the same of within 250 ohms . If you are running a PowerCommander , take it off and try it . I messed with mine all this spring to find out the PC was !@#$%^ up .

I wonder what that stuff was that was on the original ?

A buddy of mine had an old Aerostitch jacket he had owned for a long time w/a zipper problem . He sent it in for repairs & it came back no charge !

That is the way I remember it

When did you EVER regret buying the best ? I heard a Pete Jackson gear drive in a small block , if they sound like them , they are Bad To the Bone !

An easy way to measure center to center , measure the inside edge of one hole to the outside hole of the other hole . Both holes must be the same diameter for this to work .

You have everything ?

Thanks !

As in one more than 24 & one less than 26 ? are you speculating or something ?

Well , for this morning it's Crosby , Stills , Nash & Young = Four Way Street I wish I were capable of posting pics & videos .

Uh , one on the black frame , none ( yet ) on the red frame .
