Lazy TB Synch?
« on: March 26, 2016, 06:45:07 AM »
Did a throttle body synch on the Stelvio this morning. Up to now, I've always done it the "official" way, ie, close the bleed screw(s), high speed synch with the screw, low speed synch with the bleed screw, tps reset. That's fine if you have understanding neighbors.  :grin:

This time I did it the other way round.
1) close the bleed screw(s) (they were both closed anyway).
2) synch the idle with the high speed screw
3) tps reset.

Checked the high speed synch and it was spot on.
Much quicker, less engine stress and happy neighbours.

By the way, I used a CarbMate that I bought 2 years ago for the first time. Up to now I always used a set of mechanical vacuum gauges that I've had for over 30 years. They're nice, but the CarbMate is less fuss and quicker.

Well then, there ya go... The most under represented and under appreciated of "Guzzi Content" components.

The primary of these components being "thrift" which the unenlightened might otherwise label "cheap".

Here, in the OP's case we see the Guzzi perspective of brevity which dim-witted Gentiles might be-handle as lazy or corner-cutting.

Good-on-ya! Short cut into that nex.. er, first beer. I know you're not drinking while performing maintenance!

Ah, somebody who appreciates the true genius of this workflow optimisation! Normally I wouldn't drink while operating machinery but I thought seeing is at was Easter, and it was *almost* midday, and I couldn't find any liability clause in the CarbMate instructions prohibiting alcohol ....
