Would love to have you. We have some first rate barbeque houses here in
Birmingham.
Continuing on with the throttle switch adjustment, I have goe ahead and
done some tweaking. I'm using the light on my ECU monitor instead of a
multimeter. Does the same thing. Light on at idle, light on at full
throttle, light off in between. I can get the full throttle light to work
properly. It goes off as the throttle moves to idle. The idle stop is a
problem. At idle, I can adjust it until the light just comes on - as it
should at idle per BENTLEY. But when I move the throttle from idle to full
throttle and back, the light will not come back on asit should. The setting
is off just a hair, just enough to prevent the contact from closing the
switch. Tried resetting it several times to no avail. I'm open to
suggestions at this point.
Thanks,
John
