Things are looking good. I have the carbs tuned. There is only a slight hesitation when cold, so I am debating moving one step richer on the slide jet.
The best part is I started it with the kick start and did not get thrown over the bars. One kick and it was running.

Its up and running!! My new sideguards arrived today too.
One plug was fouled, so it was only running on one. Cleaned up the plug and that worked for tonight. New plugs will go in tomorrow. The kicker was the battery was about dead. We put a boost charger on it to get it going at first. However it took out the headlight, so it was a minimal ride. When I was checking the fuse for the headlight the bike died. There was a bad connection on the main fuse.

Carbs are now rebuilt. I am going to change the oil because there is a bit of gas smell in it. Tonight I removed the fuel shut off from the tank. It was a slow process to get fuel out of it. The screen had remains of a shredded leaf packed around it. No wonder I never made it very far.
The fuel was never able to be shut off either. Before I disassembled the petcock I realized no matter what it was always on. The dial on the inside had been put together 180deg out.

This bike pushes easy! I knew better since last night after it died it would not restart. Tonight it started, so I took off. Made it a good 1/4mi then it cut out and died. My neighbor heard me, so he jumped on his bike. After visiting for awhile it started up and was running great. Once again I continued on. This time I ended up on the other side of the subdivision at the bottom of a cul de sac. Anyway it was only about 3/4mi that I had to push it back home.
The carbs are off. One I cannot even blow through the fuel inlet since it is so clogged. I haven't opened the other yet. The bike is easy to work on. Within five minutes The tank and carbs were off. If only the Corvette engine was this easy to get to.

I wasn't actually looking. Kawasaki is one of my searches on CL that I do. My garage is really full. It is only a single car. It has two work benches, full fridge, ATV, Corvette and a photo booth in it. I think one of the benches will be going shortly.

Here is my recent purchase, and no it is not a Prius. Really I did't buy this for milage. It was cheap and I always wanted a bike. The wife didn't even care that I bought it.
The carbs need to be rebuilt. About 10 years ago it was stipped down and the frame was painted. Current paint is ok from about 10 feet. It has been updated to two disc in the front and one in the back (my favorite update). The exhaust looks a little rough, but is in good shape.

Electric motors can have a variety of input voltages depending on how they were made. There will be a plate to tell you what wires to connect depending on the input voltage. When I was installing lifts and elevators the motors were set up so the manufacturers could use a single motor for all applications. We would use Leeson motors.
Here is a plate (if the picture is big enough to see). Attach file: motor.jpg (38.10 KB)

If anyone is looking for a spare, I currently have two in the works. One does have a dent in the case. I removed the board and there are no cracks and the circuits test good. There wasn't any packing in the box, and I did let the seller know. Both were from running cars.

I used a different brand, but the dimensions are very close. The pan was installed on the motor before I put it in the car. I didn't have any issues. Before I installed the starter I put the headers on to be sure it could be done. There were no issues putting the starter on. The cross member is close, and I didn't look at the clearence with the stock pan.
Here are the measurements of the pan I used. http://www.champpans.com/index.cfm?event=productdetail&id=103

Well that answer ruins my theory. I guess I will deal with it. My only other thought is since I have been driving it the fuel is now fresh. I may need to do a slight adjustment to the fuel.

I don't remember if I mentioned with the o2's unhooked I had the AFR reading 14.5 at idle (tuning with piggyback). Since they are hooked back up it stays around 15.4. This is why I know it is the factory ECM making the change.

Yes, once it starts the idle and drive is fine. I don't think my AFR is acurate as I put in a previous post. When I am cruising it stays between 14.9 and 15.3. It does have a heated wideband also, but isn't as close to the engine as I wanted it. However the piggyback still allows the factory ECM to use the o2's and adjust the fuel.

Yes. Since I corrected the MAP settings it has been good. The problem was the MAP setting is shown as RPM in the graph, so I didn't know the feilds were different. The start problem actually isn't too bad. It has only happened three times, but is annoying.

I have been able to start without touching the pedal. This was the only change that was made. When it does start the AFR is reading lean. The other day it had a puff of black smoke when it started. This is what is confusing.

I thought in a flooded condition you were to push the pedal to the floor then release before cranking the car. You can hear somethink click at half throttle then at full the first time depressed. I will try this weekend. I want to do some more tuning to the top end. Old, but I have another (older).

I put heated o2's in my '92. Now when I stop for gas it doesn't fire right up. It will fire then die. To get it to start I have had to feather the gas (not much). I have also tried push the pedal to the floor before turning the key.
I am wondering if I need to put a delay on the heater circuit. A separate relay was installed to run power to the o2's. It has only done this when there is already heat in the engine, not on the first start. When I turn the key I wait for the fuel pump to prime before I crank the engine.

I put about 200 miles on the car yesterday. Basically cruising 60mph back and forth between two towns just north of me. There were a few 1/2 throttle pulls, and throttle variation. I did get an EGR code in the last 20 miles, but I have a spare I will put on/check.

I will admit the issues I was having were caused by user error. Once the MAP settings were corrected things are going much better. The AFR is leveling out in how much it fluctuates. Your second comment is what I am not sure about. The AFR is showing lean, but the plugs have been reading good (tan). I just don't want to blow the motor from being too lean. I can tell the factory computer is what is pulling it to the lean side now the O2 are connected.

I have the tune really close to 14.2-14.6 when idling. I have hooked up the O2 sensors and it is staying around 15.2-15.5. So now I am back to the question of how much does the factory computer compensate when reading rich or lean. The reason is I have a facory chip, but larger injectors.

What condition are the rear tie rod ends for the toe?
The reason I am putting this out there, is I get a vibration at a low load cruise. Today when looking over the car it was realized the left one is bad allowing the wheel to wobble.

I think I am on the right track. I have unplugged the O2 sensors and the tune is not jumping. Split Second says to tune then plug the O2 sensors back in. I need to smooth out and adjust the table a bit more. The only thing is now is when I first start the car it shows lean for a few minutes.
My next two thoughts are: Was it switching in and out of closed loop too fast without having heated sensors? With the factory computer still with stock injector settings. Will it compensate too much since I have larger injectors (when it is in closed loop)?

Its the xtreme energy 266HR-14, rated for 1-5k. I am not ready to go to the FMU. It is the one with the adjustment screw and will raise the fuel pressure while in boost.

I don't have datamaster. I have a wideband that I am watching, and pulling random plugs. It was showing lean, and when I pulled the plugs they were white. I adjusted the numbers up by .5 then it was showing rich. I moved them back down to where I had them and it was still rich. This is why I am going to try new O2's.
My cam is the Comp 266, which is basically a stock replacement. I will have the get the harness to do a scan. That is next on my list. If this ends up not working. My back up plan is to install the FMU that came in the kit with the Procharger.

I bought the Procharger and unit off of ebay, it had the piggyback and software with it. This was a never installed unit that had been purchased in '06. However the Split Second p/n is FTC1-075. Which I don't think is available anymore due to the lack of sales. It is a fuel and spark management system. It has a vacuum hose that runs to the box, then sends the voltage to the factory ECU for the MAP reading. You set the output voltage by changing the value in the table to match the factory MAP at atmospheric pressure. By doing this it will compensate for having a forced induction engine. After that you have a table that you adjust the fuel levels with. According to them it is to trick the factory ECU to thinking it is at a different part of the set table. Then you are to readjust the fuel at that certain MAP point to even it out. Here is a link.
http://www.splitsec.com/technotes/Fue ... sing_2-bar_Map_Sensor.pdf It is to add or remove fuel when and where it is needed. Then this table is an "overlay" of the factory table. My confusion is when I called Split Second they say to tune without the O2's. When I first start my car the AFR is reading high 13's to 14's. Then it drops to 10, which I think is when it goes to closed loop. Yes, the signal wire from the MAP sensor is cut. The new signal is sent to the factory ECU from the piggyback. At 0 psi, I have them matched at 4.7v. When at idle (although not connected) the factory MAP has an output of 1.9v, and the piggyback has a 1.2v. This makes the factory ECU think it is running at a lower rpm, so then you can use the fuel table to adjust to the correct level.

I am even more confused now. Without the car responding to the increases, then eventually running worse while showing lean I figured it was stuck in open loop. I called Split Second with a few follow up questions. They say to disconnect the O2 sensors when tuning, so the car stays in open loop. Then when it is tuned to hook them back up. As said in the previous post it will be running fine then either really rich or lean.
Tonight I opened the gap back to .35, hopefully this will smooth it out even more. I have ordered the heated O2 sensors. Mine are old and the single wire. They might not be reading accurate.

This one has a built in 2 bar that you can adjust the voltage output. I am still trying to work out the tune. It was much better with the MAP sensor corrected. I was running lean today, and kept adding fuel but there was no change. It kept showing about 15 on the AFR and I would add fuel, but it would run worse every time. I am thinking it was not staying in closed loop, with how it wasn't responding to my increases.

I couldn't fine the previous post. I think I need to do this on my '92.

Everything is adjusted now. The piggyback computer is what sends the MAP signal to the ECU. The MAP sensor had an output of 4.72v with key on, engine off. The voltage from the piggyback at this same point was sending 2.4v to the factory ECU. I adjusted the cell value in my chart, reloaded the piggyback computer and now have 4.72v output.

I called Split Second, and hopefully found the issue. The piggyback computer has a 2 bar in it, and you keep the stock 1 bar on the engine. Then make the output voltage reading match with key on engine off. Take these numbers and put them into a formula. This is the number I am to enter into the 500rpm row. By doing this it will make the piggyback MAP read correct to the size that is needed (ie 1.5). Currently I have the same numbers filled into this row as what are needed for the fuel (which are lower).

djxib, are you running a FMU (Fuel Management Unit)? The issue right now is it seems that the car runs different everytime. Which I have heard is a downfall of a piggyback. I think I need to switch to a 2 bar MAP, so the changes in the stock computer will not be as drastic.
I took it to a tuner and they had asked for the plugs to be at .28, I had them at .34. After I did this I basically had to start over just to get the car to run. Since the engine is new they just did a drivable tune so I can put on some miles.

I left my stock MAP sensor in when I installed my supercharger. Is the stock sensor a 1 or 2 bar? Next what engine control managment systems are you running if you have added a supercharger. My car is a '92, so I am currently tuning with a piggyback system from Split Second.

This is why I will not move to a bigger city. I drove through Nashville yesterday and one of the main highways was closed. My house is 11mi from work and it takes an average of 15min to drive. This is to the downtown area too.

I like the subtle hood stripes. Trae1976 gets my vote.

They are hoping to be open in August. While in court they were still working on surveying and dirt work. They just didn't want to pour any concrete.

It's the same company that owned the Wentzville track. They have been looking for a place to re-open. The address is Montgomery City, but it is actually just off of I-70 at Hwy 19. MAR (Mid America Raceway) is the owner of the track. From JC you can take 50 to Hermann then 19 North to I-70. There is a video on the forum of progress, and you can see I-70 in the background. Here is a forum link. You can also go to Casenet and look up case number 11AA-CC00042. http://marpark.proboards.com/

MAR Raceway has been planning on re-opening a track here in Missouri. Their previous one was in St. Louis. This was to be built and done by March. A lawsuit was filed due to zoning issues this past winter, holding up the process. The judge entered the final decision yesterday, and ruled in favor of MAR. The track location is 45 miles from Columbia.
The best part is my brother lives 10 miles from its new location!!

The cups they were mounted in were still in place. A friend that helps me on my car works at the dealership. He is always giving me hell about my cars because they are older. He doesn't have to work on cars like this at the dealer. Anyway when he was aligning it, and telling me to buy newer. I told him if he could find anything wrong that I would have it fixed. That was the only thing. He had also told me about the ride quality. Which I had been chasing for a while.

The new bars are in. I didn't get to drive it as much as I would of liked, but could tell a huge difference in the ride. The old ones were very weak. It didn't take much pressure to release them. Putting the new ones in did a number on the puller (should of used a bigger one). It felt like it followed the road a lot better vs swaying and lumbering around. The brakes felt better too, since it was not dipping as much in the front.

I have some more information. There is a rubber bump stop (some call them "overload") that are missing from the front. When installed there is maybe a 1/4" gap from the a-arm. I installed a new set and it took a lot of the issue away. However the bad ride quality is still there. We believe that since they were missing this is what allowed the torsion bars to be over worked. I purchased a used set that have 77k on them for $130/pr. New ones were $230/ea. I am installing them tomorrow night, so hopefully this solves the issue.

Can it be registered in another state? What database is the VIN listed in? Another trick is to go to a junkyard and buy the same vehicle. Just take the VIN and get it registered as a salvage vehicle. Some states are easier than others. IL you have to have a license to bring a vehicle back. In MO you can do it yourself.
Or just make it into a racecar, and haul it everywhere.
