Bravo!Don't you love it when a plan comes together!:-)
I certainly do. Of course, I shouldn't count my chooks before they are hatched. Tomorrow will tell the tale for sure.
What's wrong with this picture?2018-03-26_04-12-17 by Charles Stottlemyer, on FlickrI don't know what I was thinking. The o ring should go on after the shims. Duh. At least it wouldn't have leaked. Drug out my dial calipers and measured .090" for the gap. I haven't looked it up yet, but from memory back in the day when I was trying to get the Centauro to run, it seemed like the gap was more like .030". I'm guessing as the sensor was counting the missing tooth, it could still do it at low speed, but lost it's ju ju at higher rpm. At least that's what the chook is telling me.
, could the gap have gotten larger when you put in the RTV? sensor can read pulse at lower rpm but not when it spins up?
All those sensors seem to leak oil, I have started to suspect it leaks thru the middle and drips out the wires not around the outside,
Many that I have looked at, the plastic is cracked.You degrease it really well, and warm it with a heat gun, and oil oozes out of a crack or three. The cracks bypass the o-ring. About what you are saying. It doesn't help that the o-ring gets rock hard from the heat. So I degrease them really well. Rub RTV all over them
Looks like you found it Chuck. Can you get a measuring tool in to get a depth measurement to the teeth of the phonic wheel? Even that is a bit hit and miss. Might be time to just pop the timing chest and do it properly, use a gasket from a Breva/Griso 1100 they're coated steel and a lot less likely to leak.As for the PCIII? Despite my loathing for them and the fact they are now technologically redundant the thing is the Scura RC is, as you noted, quite highly modified and the PC was obviously installed and tuned by someone who actually knew what they were doing! That being the case unless you want to build a map for it yourself or can find someone with the neccessary Tunerpro skills and equipment to do it for you I'd just hook it up again as that thing goes like an angry rhino with a spear up its blurter! Why mess with a good thing!?Pete
That's good to know, I suspected it must be leaking through the sensor.BTW the gap should be 0.7 to 0.9 the larger gap I quoted came from an earlier model with just a few targets
I love my old carbs.

A well tuned modern carb (especially CV type) is far superior across the board for power and economy.Just my .02c
It's the difference between analog and digital music reproduction. I've never ridden an injected bike that wasn't at least a little harsh feeling, for want of a better description.Oh, btw, the chook told me to quit shooting myself in the foot. It's running fine again.

Told ya the Mystic Dance of the Rubber Chicken would work. Well done Chuck and those who were able to work it out.
It took a little extra time because you told me to go the wrong way around. This chook came from Texas..
