Hokay - I have to take a break - but. I have been working on my throttle body sync all day.... it should not take this long - I know!
So - wow. Man, is there gonna be a "Don't do it this way post after this!"
So, here's the deal. No one around here has ever heard of a manometer - so I decided to go the backyard way - four separate vaccum gauges. So, I have the airbox off, all the lines appropriatly capped, etc. So, I fire up the scoot and it is very rough! using the idle screw, I try to keep the tach at 1150-1200, but I can't get a stable read on the gauges that way. So, I bump her up to 3k where I can at least read the gauges. +/- 20...
Anyway, I get them to where they are sync'd, put the airbox back on, but I have black smoke and backfiring.... not to mention, I have to keep adjusting down the idle because after making a few adjustments, it starts to climb... well, I walk away, then come back after about 15 mins (cool down for the bike and for me)...
So, I do it again, get them even better sync'd, but now after putting the airbox back on, I am getting whitesmoke and more backfiring. Smell of fuel is heavy... she has never done this before so I know it is my adjustments... but I need some help! I am going to dinner now, before I hurt Bessie out of sheer frustration! Anyway... thanks for listening, just airing my problem is somewhat theraputic...
I really want to get her back on the road! Help! Thanks...
