    Will the ATF Home Brew damage plastic?

    The bike faired far better than i did. Scuffed the fairing and bent the shifter. Road rash on my helmet.

    Thank you for not going there. I find it hard to believe that there is no one in the Memphis, TN area with a carb tune that can help me out. I don't mind paying for the help. heck i'll by ice cream if it will get the job done.

    So haven't posted anything for a while been recovering from a spill. As it turns out Pine needles are VERY slippery, First Gens are very heavy and roads are very hard. This concludes my PSA. On a side note bruised ribs hurt like the devil. Anyway now for the help section. I had to have more carb work done and will be installing new boots soon. Is there anyone in the Memphis area with a carb tune? Also does any one have a shifter that fits a 1993 Royale, mine got bent in the spill. Gonna try to straighten it but my luck says it will break. Thank you guys for all the great help and remember The are the fastest

    I have the same thing on my bike and was told that is one of the jets and it has come loose on the other side. You have to split the cabs to repair. Mine is in the shop now cause the guy that cleaned my carbs didn't tighten them correctly and 3 of them backed out. Great lose of power and poor gas mileage. Sorry

    Would this be the cause of the lost power and bogging? I had the carbs cleaned at a shop in Memphis in June. Should I contact them and have them repair or is this something that just happens over time? Never mind things don't just come loose and fall out. I will be contacting them on monday to arrange for them to correct this issue. Thanks for the help you guys are great. Kevin:cool10:

    Rode the bike to work today, still bogging. On the way home it started trying to run right. It would surge the go back. I took the air box off to look for leaks and while i had it off I unpluged the TCI and think i found part of the problem. The smaller connector was green not copper. The larger looked alittle better. Cleaned them with contact cleaner and plugged back up. I have attached some pics of my carbs. If you look at photo 1 and also the carb in the uper right of pic 5 the slider looks different. The brass sleeve the slider shaft goes through is pulled away from the wall. Is this a problem? Another of the carbs was like that and i just pushed it back into place. Are they suposed to move like that? THANKS Kevin

    I have not checked for vac leaks yet. It is on my list. Kinda scared to spray around a hot motor.

    Ok so i checked the boost sensor again and this time there was a change in the rpms. So i thought maybe it was a fuel problem. I had some sea foam intake cleaner so i started the bike and co-minced to soaking the carbs. The amount of smoke and the smell was unbelievable. I don't think we will need a bug truck spraying for awhile. So while cleaning the bike started running bad. I thought it must be the sea foam. Well it died and when i tried to restart the fuel pump started pumping like crazy and the bike would not start. I looked at the fuel filter and it was empty. The bike had gas in the tank. Went to the fuel shut off and moved it to reserve and the filter filled back up and the bike started. After all that I sprayed some more cleaner in the carbs and went inside. Get on the bike to come to work this morning and it is running alittle better. I get to the stop sign at the end of the street and the bike is idling at 3000 rpm. Drive to the gas station(13 miles) and it is still idling high. Shut off, fill with gas and restart it is idling fine. Ride to work (46 miles) bike still not right. I think the problem is fuel delivery now. Going to get a new filter this afternoon and try that. Could the carbs have come out of sync and cause this?
  11. kevin5549
    Thanks Frank I will test again when i get home at a higher rpm.
  12. kevin5549
    Yes the hose was unhooked when i blew through. I forgot to mention that on all test rides if the rpms got to 4500-5000 the bike would regain power as long as the rpms stayed up. Doesn't that also point to boost sensor?
  13. kevin5549
    New info on the loss of power. Today I checked the fuel filter and fuel pump, both are good. With the bike cold it still has no power. I found what i think is the boost sensor hose (see 1st pic, hose with white connector) and applied vacume (sp) and no change in idle at all. Took a short ride with the hose lose and no change in condition. I looked at the hose and it appears to be in good shape. I could blow though it. Could the boost sensor be bad and if so how do you get it out and where do you get a replacement? Also what is the canister in the second pic and do i need it? Thanks for all the help. Kevin

    When I checked the plug wires I had spark at all 4 wires. The motor was hot so I didn't pull the plugs. Whatever it is it happened overnight while sleeping.
  15. kevin5549
    Ok checked gas cap and it popped right off. Took the air box top off and the slides are dancing when you hit the gas. They don't all return to the same spot though. But the real question is do you need the flat washers in the wires and what does a black resistor mean? BTW the plugs are only a couple old but the wires I have no idea, they came with the bike. 76000 miles:puzzled:
