Someone asked about voltage between engine and body with engine running, so here are the results using a digital VM: '88 Westy with stock 2.1L with intermittent hesitation sydrome. Engine dead cold. (2 deg C) Started, turned on highbeams Opened engine lid, tried to find rust free bare metal or bolt on body. Gave up and used exhaust heat shield for body connection. Tried various engine block areas, and got same readings at idle, so finally jammed probe into gap near bellhousing. Readings were a solid 0.06V at idle, changing to a steady 0.056V at approx 2000rpm. Is this the surprising data you were expecting?
