Spent about an hour this afternoon replacing my starter plungers - absolutely gefukt! Once that's done, I tried to do a carb sync, but my ghetto rig is leaking like a happy basset hound on the carpet at Hallowe'en. I got the 1-2 pretty close, but I ran out of time, daylight and patience before I could finish the 3-4.
Plus the battery's dead (boosted off my van battery), plus there's a nasty drivetrain / clutch rattle... Next weekend.I've finally received my R6 throttle bodies - not bad condition, certainly worth the US$50 (plus shipping...) I paid for them! They came with those Graves slide holder-uppers - any of you R6 types want a set? I'm going to need my slides to work to manage the airflow through the gaping bores - 38mm TBs vs 28mm carbs!!
Went to do a dry fit; really didn't expect much, had some plans in the brain for adaptors, etc. What I did NOT expect was the bloody TB rack doesn't fit between the frame rails! I'd have to dismount the damn cable pulley to get it to the engine!
Plan 'A' was a direct bolt-up (with adaptors). That's kinda done. There are 2 Plans 'B' under consideration. B-1 is to use 2x TBs each feeding Y-manifolds; Plan B-2 is to mod the carbs to accept the injectors. From a sheer fab effort, I like B-1 - plus it's reversable! If I have to core out some part of my carbs to try, and it never does work, I'd need new carb bodies to return to the starting point.
