Balance Carbs - fazersteve - 11-08-13
Balancing my carbs for the first time. When I reset the TPS plus my one reads 3000 revs.
Even when I move TPS switch it stills reads 3000 revs. And not 5000 as per guide.
Re: Balance Carbs - mickvp - 11-08-13
A quick search turned up this:
Quote:If you plugged it back in and it read 3000rpm then that is saying a faulty TPS (or faulty wiring to TPS but unlikely).
If it was positioned wrong it would read 0rpm or 10,000rpm and would need adjusting.
If all was correct it would read 5000rpm.
Faulty speed sensor would read 4000rpm.

I know this sounds daft but you did plug it back in didn't you?

Manage to set at 5000 revs. And once I found where ever thing else was manage to set carbs.
The long reach screwdriver from Tool station helped make the job so much earlier.
Luckily I was not changing myself at a hourly rate. Next time should be a breeze.
Thanks again for all the help

I've found that the first time you do anything it rarely goes 100% smoothly :lol But that's what learning is all about!

Hi Steve could you give me details of the screwdriver you bought. When I did my balance recently I struggled to adjust the RH screw as the shaft of my screwdriver was a bit thick

I ended up buying two screwdrivers as the first one i got online had a hex shaft that didn't fit down that gap on the right.

Hi Soapy,
Bought these two from ToolStation
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Screwdrivers/Extra+Long+Screwdriver+PZD+1x450mm/d10/sd80/p82330
Wasn't sure what one would be best so bought both. At 450mm long they work a treat.

which size pozidrive did you buy , was it the #1 or #2? i know it helps to have a narrow tool

The #2's okay, not brilliant, gotta be round, but i use a small flat blade as well for the adjuster on the right, much easier.
