Let's start anew with a TPS question

[docc]

I don't think this bike likes me.

Yeah. And then you could have an Italian bike and an Italian wife . . .

 

Who was it said an Italian woman (bike) will stab you for no reason at all?

Any husband with a knife wound.........

There are 2 DC scales to read on my admittedly inexpensive meter that are marked 2000m and 200m.

Those are the only 2 that give me any reading seemingly appropriate.

The DC volt scales are 20, 200 and then 2000.

I'm using the correct scale then?

 

 

Anyway, I didn't get a chance to check idle voltage tonight because the battery crapped.

 

I don't think this bike likes me.

 

She likes you, she's just moody.

 

Is there a mV scale? Is it possible that it is a 500mV range and once you go past it you are out of range? On your 20V scale you should have two digits either side of the decimal (00.00) Yes? If so you can get close at both ends of the range seeing 00.15 for 150mv closed throttle and say about 04.85V WOT. You'll never see 5V WOT. 5V is reference voltage and the resistance of the TPS brings it down a little.

No...this bike is just a full on bitch and we're about ready to go around, she and I.

I mean to kick her square in the ass, slap her for crying then send her back to her momma in Italy.

 

No, actually, I think I've got it sorted.

Except I feel I had to turn the white knob excessively to get balance, but.....maybe not. Maybe it really only ended up to be about 1 turn in. Bad day for arthritis.

 

Went back & forth between the left idle screw and air bypass screws a couple of times to get 1200 rpm and .521mV but I got it.

 

Too cold to ride so I'll check Sunday. Supposed to be near 70 here.

 

Time for a new VOM too.
