johnfromscarborough Posted May 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 the 2 outer cables, put the amount it says in the book with filter change, Just done another ohms reading on every thing and think i could have narrowed it down to the ETC switch? Any one had a problem with this? does any one know if this would put the bike in a safe mode so it wouldnt start or run? does any one know how to test them on or off the bike? Going round the bend.

gii Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Have you tried bump starting it? (yes, they will). Gives you the opportunity to try different throttle openings whilst spinning the motor at 500-1000rpm without it kicking back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnfromscarborough Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Not yet going to try that tonight or later in the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big red tractor Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) Hi I hope this helps from page 4-11 Engine Service section of manual, it gives you the clearance between the throttle body. -Throttle body-to-bank angle sensor: more than 5mm -Throttle body-to-silencer: more than 5mm I know from experience that these settings are important and do make a difference to the running or starting Edited May 20, 2010 by Big Red Tractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeman Posted June 16, 2010 Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just wondering if the problem has been solved yet ???? if so can you give us an update ?? cheers Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnfromscarborough Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Yes sorry problem sorted been out playing for the last week and half on it, Narrowed the fault down to the piston rings, even though it had decent compression it didnt have enough to crank up. Found it was the piston rings after swapped every thing electrical over with the other bike. The pipe that goes between the fuel pressure regulator and the engine intake had a slight split in it and sucked some fine dust in once mixed with the fuel made a fine paste, once bike was stripped down the 2 top rings were stuck into the piston, once new rings fitted and cleaned up, re built fired straight up, Problem sorted, Hard to believe and i wouldnt have belived it if i didnt see it. Thanks to evey one that joined in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich delaney Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Can you describe where the crack was again? It doesn't sound like anything on the air intake side unless you mean the rubber intake hose thatr connect the throttle body to the cylinder head? Thanks, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyevans Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 at a gues id say he means the vac pipe for the reugulator? but if im being honest, i think it would be imposible for the damage caused . in agriculture most 4ts have little or no filtration and never fail!! and we are talking belt and braces honda here!!

johnfromscarborough Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Thats right its the little vac pipe, i know it doesnt seem right thats why i also said if i didnt see it with my own eyes i wouldnt have believed it to. agriculture 4 strokes dont have as tight clearance as a fine tuned engine.
