The cold start injector shouldn't affect anything. I believe the way it works is this: There is a temp sensor on top of the case, on the passenger side, near the front. That senses the temp of the case. If it's cold, it activates the cold start injector. As far as I know, the cold start injector should only be activated when the engine is cranking, and should shut off when the engine is running. I suppose that if the wire to the temp sensor fell off and is grounded, the cold start might run all the time, and who knows, it could do something funky.
I don't think I have any pics of the cold start sensor off hand. I think there might be one on Brad Ander's page. It wouldn't hurt to try and get it working right. |

That would make sense. I will have to try to find that sensor. Thanks.

Sorry, I couldn't find a pic of it, but if remember right, it's almost right behind the dizzy, down low, attached to the top of the case. It's probably easier to get at with the air box removed.

UPDATE-
It turned out to be a leaking injector. Replaced it, and it's now running great. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Thanks. |

Way to go! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I knew you'd figure it out eventually.

Still plenty more to do, but at least it's running. Doesn't start too well, but hey, it's on its way. Thanks again Mike. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
