Will this measure a TPS

[scott02464]

And what setting should it be on please?
I only ever use it for measuring Volts

[lloydie]

Yep stick it on 2000 at the bottom left

[scott02464]

Thanks mate! ;-)

[scott02464]

Also do I need a special socket attachment to undo these TPS bolts?
I'll have a torex for it but just noticed a little nubbin in the centre?

yes you need a tampertorx screw bit, you can get them at halfords

No probs mate thanks for that ;-)

Grip it with a pair of pliers and turn it, easy when it's off the bike, then replace with some normal bolts

or knock out the middle with a centre pop, and then use normal torq

[scott02464]

Well Iv just had the multimeter on the TPS and it read 863 so will deffo set that properly when I next get chance!

Managed to get to it by lifting the tank up

That's a good practical solution, Not as good as hammering in the nearest fitting Allen key when you don't have a torx bit though, that's reserved only for us farmers

i just chip the side of them with a hammer and screwy. they come loose easy enough.

Will do thanks guys, ill give it a go at work tomorrow, then that'll save me taking the carbs off!

Or just hacksaw a slot across the head and use a flat blade screwdriver.

Good luck getting it on 500 with the carbs on You will have to remove the TPS off the carbs and bend the metal prong on the carb downwards slightly with some long nose pliers. It's the bottom prong as you look face on at the carbs (tps side obviously) Measure on the top two prongs on tps. Multimeter set at 2000 ohms (that's the symbol that looks like headphones ) It should measure 1 when not connected to anything which is the resistance in the air.

You will find as you tighten the torx back up it will move slightly out of adjustment. So tighten as tight as you can where you can still move it slightly, well more of a jolt really! then nip the torx up and check again. Keep doing this until you can get it as close to 500 as you can, within tolerance of -10 +10 of 500. You may have to take it back off and bend the prong a bit more to move the tps anti clockwise more. Just be gentle and do a bit at a time and don't snap the prong on the carb

Security Torx.
