Kiwi_Roy Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Zooter, when I went to school in Aotearoa we still had dental nurses, they would often give you a few drops of Hg in a drill box. You took it back to class and dropped it on the floor. I guess that explains my odd behaviour eh! Sent from my shoe phone!

Zooter Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The teacher I remember being the most fastidious with the stuff had a sideline job with Nasa / USAF doing maths and making star observations for the newfangled GPS satellites and missile systems. All his neurons presumably fired correctly.

All his neurons presumably fired correctly. He might be the only in this mix without a Guzzi V11. Youth + Hg = Later-on + V11
Scud Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Youth + Hg = Later-on + V11 OMG, that's crazy. Me too. In about 7th grade I broke a bunch of thermometers and collected all the mercury - also rolled it around in my hands. Multiple thermometers broken = V112 I like heavy metal music too. Coincidence? I think not.
Zooter Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Where's all the photos at? What do you have to pull off to get to the adjustments? I make out TPS unit, throttle link but not much else. When you say ''adjust throttle screw''is that the cable length adjusting screw nut arrangement?

Zooter Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 I've been reading up all over. Haven't come across anything in the way of a faq how to that has live pics. Plenty of text. I haven't done much with carbs even, let alone EFI.

Zooter Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 You tell me. I am going to reinstall air box with stock filter and drillouts. I am a complete novice at tuning EFI and a failure at carbs. This looks far easier to conquer. I expect I may need to reset TPS along the way, that being prescribed before attempting anything with guzzidiag. Presently it runs very well.
docc Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Really simple with the breakout harness to baseline the TPS making sure the throttle plate is entirely closed. Then set the idle position of the TPS with guzzidiag and zero the CO trim. With fresh plugs and a valve adjustment, you're down to the throttle body synchronization, which works magic on Vtwin.
Zooter Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Ensuring the throttle is fully throttled is a visual thing?
Zooter Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 And is not TB syncing part and parcel of starting up guzzidiag? That's the bit that I can't visualize from the instructions and looking over my bike.
docc Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 No, TB synch is not done through guzzidiag. Separate procedure using the vacuum taps on the intakes and the "white knob" on the throttle linkage rod with some mind to the air bleed screws. Synchronization is the last step in the tune-up with the motor at operating temperature.
Zooter Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Would syncing first not provide better data to guzzidiag?
