I had the tank off the Daytona in to change the fuel sender so I thought I'd have another go at balancing the throttle bodies. I had bought some T pieces as the Daytona has air bleed screws which are adjusted at idle so you need to have the IAVC hoses hooked up at the same time as the vacuum gauges. I reset the TPS and setup TuneEcu on the PC so that I could set the idle to between 30-34 steps. The adjustment went OK after I noticed that the hoses for 2 and 3 had been reversed! , With the tank of I also spliced in my USB charger to the front loom. I tried to use what looked like an accessory plug, but I couldn't find 12v so I gave up and used the left hand low beam wire.
Philippe's BMW came in with what I thought was charging issues, but which I am now sure is a starter motor issue! It seems to just suck all power out of the battery as soon as you action the button. In fact I had started troubleshooting the alternator, and couldn't find much wrong so after thinking again came to the conclusion of looking at the starter motor. It's a Valeo car Unit, so not expensive so an eBay order has been made!
Finally got the neighbours compressor and connected up the sandblaster to have a go at the Triumph tank and frame, unfortunately the compressor was not really able to keep up so will have to have another go tomorrow. My welder turned up again today so hopefully I will be able to weld up the bracketry on the frame!
