  1. Still struggling with the throttle bodies, so I pinched Marco's idea and used a ratchet strap.

    worked brilliantly, put some tension on then wiggled them and they have all seated nicely.

    The proof

    Thanks Marco.

  2. Right, just spent an hour in the garage with a big wooden stick, and have nearly got the bodies back on. Having trouble with no2 so will have another go tomorrow with 2 sticks. Can get 3 and 4 in easily , just 1 and 2 being a pain..

    And Marco not sure about the Donnington day, have a lot going on at the moment.

    Does it run yet :D Very pretty plenum btw!

    And just in case you haven't noticed there are bell mouths on the back of the throttle bodies that the plenum is built round.

    And no it doesn't run yet, still haven't got the bodies back on, family life and work have been holding me up.

  4. I have taken the injectors to a local injection place, they are going to check them and clean them and replace the o rings etc, ,cost is £15 each.

    , no cost if they are not repairable.

    Not to bad and I can pick them up without any postage costs.

  5. Fired it up today, took ages. Would fire then die. Plugs were really wet, so toook them out heated them up and tried aagain, same problem.

    Next I changed the phasing on the injectors, and it fired up and ran, even ticked over, but was smoking badly.

    Even fever it hard enough for the BOV to open, nearly s--t myself.

    Stripped out the plenum and found some of the injectors leaking.

    So I have decided to remove the injectors and get them cleaned.

    Where should I take them, and how much should it cost to have 8 injectors cleaned?

  6. I have found another ecu manufacturer Eblag no 272423568938.

    Have spoken to them, apparently there software came of the back of a Le Mans car( couldn't tell me which one) and said it should work no problem.

    Benefits its are they are localism,( might have to ask fatblokeonbandit to do a drive by)

    Good price at £595 including lead and basic harness.

    Problems, they have never done a bike.

    What do you think?

    Cheers SRR

  7. Been talking to a couple of ecu makers, they suggested changing the timing wheel and if the settings can be altered to try it on the current ecu.

    So I am going to try it, have contacted RACETECH to see if it is possible to change the pickup type in the program.

    was wondering if this might help with the problem of starting it sometimes when it makes a loud cracking noise and the engine seems to go backwards, not good for the starter clutch.

    Cheers SRR

     

  8. Another option is to take the generator and starter clutch off, bump start it and see if that makes any difference.

    If it's a sort of rumbling could be one of the crank roller cages breaking up.

    Well i pulled my barrels off today ready to get them bored. will i need a ring compressor to get them back on or will the chamfered bit in the bottom compress the rings ok.

    No necessarily, you can do it by hand, get to pistons up, put barrels over while compressing rings by hand, then turn engine over slowly to bring the other two pistons up and ease in by hand. Probably much easier with compressors, but I have allways done it by hand.

    Cheers SRR
