Just think of the satisfaction when its finished........ this will all seem like a minor blip........ or you'll be an alcoholic
had a bit of a look around on the bike this afternoon just to see if i had missed anything when changing the engine or if i had caught anything also checked spark plugs which were black and sooty as hell so definetly running rich couldnt find anything out of place .....but for some reason had a look at the tps probably after reading another thread on here upshot was well connectors nice and green and the middle connector damaged so not sure if the tps would cause some or any of symptoms started up see how it ran and well running on rear cylinder only :Banghead: but that could be down to really low fuel seems 20 minutes running used about quarter of a tank of fuel
whoo news flash ITS RUNNING !!! still a little on the rich side but fair smooth had a check round tonight after work start with the basics put in a gallon of fuel ......nah that didnt cure it lol so checked plugs .....sooty checked for spark front cylinder no spark tried spare coil no different swapped plugs from front to rear hey back one doesent fire check no spark so fair new ngk R spark plug is faulty no suprises there so pinch a plug out of the old engine plugs that came with the replacment engine find one of them is duff aswell so mix of new ngk R and an old iridium plug and it runs pretty good so just tidy up a few bits and then its time for new belts and getting the fuel mixture sorted and see about getting throttle bodies balanced aswell :Smuggrin::Smuggrin::Smuggrin:
Has a running engine, but not properly........buys another engine, which runs but not properly...........changes spark plugs and the second one runs OK.................wonders why the spark plugs weren't changed in the first engine.......
Not yet mate, ran out of cash to get the new top fairing before the service. Hope to get one next month once its all taxed, mot'd and insured. So won't be able to see where coils will be until I get one. Another thing to add to the list eh.........
did change the plugs in the first engine al and the ht leads first engine changed out mainly to other problems ie loads of metal in bottom of engine and its the new plugs that are duff dam ngk R plugs
right guys back off a long weekend away with the kids and a fresh mind on the bike and thinking of some of the small jobs so the first one is the speedo the trip reset knob thingy on the side of the speedo is missing does anyone have a spare kicking around
It seems I'm not................I have a spare, but already modified it for another remote idle speed adjuster and I can't find another one, John..........If I do, I will let you know. Sorry......... However, one wouldn't be too hard to make........use a broken tacho or speedo cable and say; a control knob from a radio or hi-fi unit which can still be bought.......Some cars have dashboard controls which would do the trick as well. If I had the parts I can do it if necessary. AL
no problem al i shall keep a look out for one might have a set of clocks in the shed of an fz 600 now i wonder ............
