Hi everyone,
I had a problem just before winter with poor running on acceleration, and put it down to a faulty tps as I had the recounter fault showing with the counter flicking between 3 different positions. For about a year it was never caused a problem with the engine but in October with the poor running I decided to buy a second hand one and fit it to the bike. This didn't solve the poor running g on acceleration so I left it over winter and bought a brand new tps as the 2nd hand one also had resistances outside of the Haynes Manuel spec.
Having put the new one in yesterday along with a brand new air filter and new spark plugs, the problem persists. The engine idles with the choke on but when I open the throttle it stalls.
The vacuum of the carbs seems fine as I have a carb sync set, and there doesn't appear to be any leaks in the manifolds.
I think I know where my problem now lies, but I was hoping for some confirmation from people on here if you are kind enough to contribute to my problem solving.
Many thanks in advance.
Dave.
