The injectors were probably 50% when I started.  Spraying multiple tight little streams. (you can kinda see the streams in the photo)  Then they came around and blasted a sweet even fine fog.

I am a amateur and unsure as to what you are saying? Should I try this at  home?  :dunno 

NO!  hahaha

It's only because you're an Ozian, Martin. Here, it's our right to spray inflammable liquids around electrical connections then onto a pile of rags in the privacy of our homes. GBA!

Rats Laitch you mean I don't have the right to self incineration, I might have to emigrate.  :dunno :musicboohoo:

The only place you can smoke here without offending is your home so you'll need to buy a cottage for your combustion rite.

[Martin]

Laitch I'll have go find a palm tree and ruminate on this. But it's going to be a soggy session it's been raining and storming on and off. I think they have a plastic palm in the shopping centre that might do as a substitute.  :dunno

[trek97]

I also read there is a fine screen inside each one.  So tonight I am gonna try to shoot some cleaner through backwards to flush the screen backwash style. 


As it seems I am determined to burn down the place.

Not emigrate,immolate.
Vaporized fuel can be such fun.
Hahahah!

[trek97]

I found I had to hold the stem onto the injector.  But, was able to backwash them.
 



Comparison shot.  Really doesnt do it justice, can was new on the starting shot, pretty low on pressure for the final shot.
But you should easily see a difference.






As luck would have it O-rings, grommets, vac hose and new brackets arrived from bobsbmw.


New fuel line should arrive by weeks end.

Found a decent deal on a new Gunson Gastester.

That Gastester is a great tool.  I couldn't find anyone who would set the idle mixture per the BMW CO spec of 1.5% for less than $125 and an hour on a dyno. 

Bought mine from the U.K. for $129 shipped.  This posting is an even better deal. 

The CO pot on my RS was off by about 5% too rich.  My K75RT was about 3% too rich.  Was getting black plugs before, now they are reading correct, nice and tan.  Couldn't have gotten the mixture correct as easily without it.  The alternative was to make an adjustment take a plug reading, repeat, repeat, repeat...

[Martin]

I've had mine for about 18 years, treat it with care, don't lend it out, be patient when using it and follow the instructions. One of my best buys although I think I paid about $300.00 AU from the UK. Other good tools when dealing with Bricks are a laser temperature gun, and a set of vacuum gauges.
Regards Martin.

[trek97]

Thanks guys.
yep already got set of 4 vac gauges.
And a non contact thermometer.
So pretty much just waiting to hear from my buddy about the paint...he's got my tank.

Hey TMG, I thought I read it was to be set up at 2% ?  Is 1.5 best in your experience?


From pg 13-09 BMW repair manual

[The Mighty Gryphon]

I went for the lean end of the spec.

[trek97]

I went for the lean end of the spec.

Long as I don't get any hesitation on take off.  I will plan to shoot for the same.

[trek97]

Has anyone done the plate mod to make it possible to check timing w a strobe on #3 plug?

Holy cow the Gunson arrived in record time.

[Martin]

For best results with the Gunson be patient, setting up is extremely important, give it time to settle. Allow time between  small adjustments for it to settle otherwise you will be chasing your tail. Important, if you need to rev the bike at any stage remove the probe. And after use you must allow adequate time for it to purge. Also due to it's light weight build treat it with care, don't drop it and don't lend it. If a mate wants to borrow it, tell him you'll do the job for him. I've had stuff broken by people who didn't treat tools with adequate care. Mine is now 18 years old and is still going strong it should serve you for a long time.
Regards Martin.

[trek97]

Thanks Martin,  I read through the book already and will read it a couple more times just to be clear on the complete process before starting.


Whenever that happens.  My paint buddies wife had internal bleeding for no apparent reason and they rushed her for surgery two weeks ago.


She just got out of the hospital.  I havent contacted him other than to make sure all is well w her. 


So, I have no idea when the tank will be here. 


Pretty much just hunting info, cleaning and looking for things to mess with. 

[trek97]

Have you done timing light mod?  If not, how are you checking timing without BMW tools?

[Laitch]

Has anyone done the plate mod to make it possible to check timing w a strobe on #3 plug?

Are you referring to the mod done by Rob Lentini described here but he doesn't count as having done it?  :giggles

[Martin]

I've thought about doing it, maybe one day when I get bored. You guys subjected to snow have more time to tinker, although we have a cyclone approaching and weather here last week was pretty wet.  :riding:

Thats the one.  Just curious how its worked out for others? 
Also, it would sure be nice to find a few pics to go along w the write up.  For us guys who have never even cracked the cover open.

I feel your pain bro. 

[trek97]

OK done a bunch more reading about timing the thing.  Im not messing w it.   :riding:

If it aint broke...RIDE IT
