Excellent Colin Pleased to hear you've got it sorted, I bet you are too

Your bike is looking good for a yellow one

Chris.

As a matter of interest how do you set up the tps please, I'm curious now and fancy having a go at sussing it.

It's explained in the Haynes manual how to test and set the TPS.

Sorted!
And just in time for the next cold snap.......

But well done for sticking with it.

[Stratman]

Hurray!

I know what it feels like. Tried loads of things for an intermittent fault which was eventually a split front spark plug rubber which was split and would "wick" water down to the plug and cause the misfire

Going over this i wonder if it is my TPS that's playing up after being adjusted?

As straight after mine developed random misses etc

Can any one link to the Tool that's required to test? i saw Benny's gadget and that was impressive but can remember what it was

might be able see if an electrical person i know has one i can lend

Now who's

You just need a multimeter for testing the TPS or for adjustment. The biggest problem is getting the multimeter attached while connected and bike running. I would have thought the way round this is to make some link wires up with some piggy back spade terminals to connect to.

If you haven't got a multimeter, it's always useful to have. I'm just wondering why that one is so cheap.

When you adjusted your TPS how did you do it. Did you remove it and bend the metal tab on the back, to get the extra spin anti clockwise getting it down to 500 ish. Did you undo the security torx or drill them out and replace.

If the TPS was faulty I would have though it would affect the idle speed. It won't do you any harm to rule it out though.

the idle is not great it fluctuates quite a bit if that's the right word, benny did it all mate it was done that quick i cant remember

don't he think he took it off mind, think it was just a case of wackking the bolts so they loosened up then probing it adjusting it however its done and niping it back up tight?

[AMCQ46]

If the idle s fluctuating it is jets or an air leak somewhere, is one of the vac pipes leaking?

If you come to the workshop day, you can borrow the stick coils off my bike and test to see if they make any difference, that will eliminate that worry.
