ok, so I think I tracked down the reason I've been burning up head temp sensors.
checked the ground strap & it was in bad shape, so I bought a stock replacement & added another ground further up (behind the bell housing to bare metal where motor mount bar bolts) it ran great! ....for about a week. now when I heel toe downshift hard at all, the thing loads up & tries to die on me. If I put it in neutral & give it a good rev it clears out (ton of black smoke) & runs like nothing ever happened I'm not sure its the head temp sensor cuz its acting a lot differently than the last time. I'm getting REALLY frustrated with the electronics on this thing. if this keeps up I'm just gonna carb the damned thing & deal with it running shitty when I take trips to different evevations. anyway. anyone have any ideas? it has new grounds, new head temp sensor, newer cap, rotor wires & plugs thank you in advance! |
