JJ, let us know how it does!TomThis is from NORCAL Mike Sorge, Guzzi rider, master Lamborghini technician, and all around good guy... Well the only way to adjust the fuel mixture is with a power commander or to retune the 15m stock ECU. If your happy with the way it runs then just feed it. No biggie. Not like your putting tons of miles.
This is a bunch of misinformation. The Centauro does not have a 15M ECU. Any bike with a 15M ECU can have the CO trim adjusted with Guzzidiag and or modify the map in Tunerpro.
True. You used to have to burn a chip in the Centauro computer. Will Creedon, Wayne Orwig, and I've forgotten the name of the guy in Germany that did it.. I Don't Know.. if GuzziDiag can rewrite the Centauro computer.. or not.
I think the other chip was a Karsten
JJ, unless I've missed it, you still haven't said where the trim screw is set.. it *is* important.
It *appears* the trim pot is set full rich. Gently see if it will turn clockwise.. if so, you have found your problem.
The V10 Centauro is listed in the Guzzidiag drop down box of bikes....so I would presume you can do all the normal operations. If a new map was desired, Beetle could be contacted or Beard or Meinolf maybe as well...no idea on that specifically since I’ve never owned a Centauro.
The dated ECU and varying issues are the bane of the early EFI Guzzis, Sport 1100i included. The early K100 BMWs and Kawasaki GPz 1100 are two of the more popular machines using early EFI technology, many of which have been retrofitted with carbs. Thankfully, few are used for daily transportation or cross-country, but the motivated owner can make it happen. EFI has kept me away from a few motorcycles I'd otherwise enjoy owning. My 40-year old CX100 (with square-slide 30s and points) ripped the Henshaw rally mixing 85-mph freeway and twisty back roads, getting over 50-mpg. Old rules!
Ya know, Nolan.. that old crap works pretty well, as it did for *years.* Yes, you sort of have to know what you are doing with it, and maintain it. No set and forget.. but still.. Yeah, I'm a curmudgeon, too.
Also FWIW the engineer who ran those test cells at Guzzi told me face to face in 2002 that he understood Marelli shipped the Centauro EFI computers to Guzzi with an early version prototype chip by mistake. That may or may not be factually correct as he was at Ferrari in 1996 and joined Guzzi later. He did ride a Centauro to work and told me he preferred Wayne’s map development software over what Marelli supplied
Enough years have passed to mention this now.
I think a great deal of confusion and organizational incompetence was involved in the overall situation,
the fuel & spark maps and the map offset charts on the ‘corrected’ ROM you mention receiving from MGNA were identical to stock,
Shirley you jest. I've said for a long time the only reason they assembled them was to make sure that you got all the parts..
