That's a slick set-up with the AF meter.  It should help make tuning easier.

I am having problems with weither the readings or fuel starvation on the bike.

I also misread the description on the Zeitroniz site. Without the "black box" addon, a computer needs to be connected to be able to log data.
so i have ordered one.


If I do two or more 50% throttle accelerations, it gets leaner each "pull". It can start in the 13ish area. By the 3rd acceleration i can see it approach 15 on the meter. so then i abort.

I am not 100% sure that the exhaust is leak free either, so i have to check all the possible sources of error.

I got clutch issue too.
I had a clutch mod with extra oil holes, cheap clutch fiber plates and Barnett springs that worked fine with 836 and 80 rwhp.
1005cc pull much harder!

I replaced the clutch hub, both parts with another K6 original. EBC discs, the outer disc flipped for minimum oil flow into clutch and stiffer Barnett springs. Barnett has a stiffer set of springs, still not hard for clutch hand.
http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,165531.msg1916669.html#msg1916669

I recommend the slightly stiffer springs 501-66-04010
501-56-04015  std with Honda kits

You might need to glass bead the metals. I have not done that yet.

I bought the extra plate kit from APE. Works good so far. Only "complaint" is that it takes a bit more lever travel for the plates to completely disengage. Actually all the lever travel that i have, while still maintaining a bit of slack.

Goodies in the mail today.

I have diagnoses the reason for the lean readings to be a exhaust leak at the copper washers.

The exhaust studs threaded part is not threaded long enought to get a good squeeze. I have ordered new gaskets and will make new shorter studs.

Before i located the exhaust leak, i also suspected that i might have a fuel problem. So i ordered a pingel dual 5/16" outlet 3/8" thread tap.

I silver soldered two pipe parts together. One 3/8" and one 1/2". And mounted the tap on the tank.

The datalogger storage device also arrived in the mail. Now all i need is dry weather.

I hate to ask you this since you are light years ahead of most of us but, do you have the head exhaust studs in backwards? One end has longer threads.

I sure hope not. Of the two threaded parts of the stud, there is a long side and a short side. I have the short threaded side in the head. I sure hope its the right way.

I just took of the nuts on the exhaust on cylinder 1 and 4.  Both were all the way to the end of the treaded area. I added some 5mm thick washers under all the nuts and retightened.


Also: Pingel 3211.  When overkill is the right amount of kill.

Turns out the tank i have is a f2 tank. I bought two pipe fitting endcaps. drilled a 14mm hole in both of them. Placed them back to back, and silver soldered them.

I did not take pictures of corse.

The endcaps were 3/8" and 1/2"

This is confusing. Where did you find the piece that threads onto the tank bung? I think its 14mm, but not pipe thread.

On the f2 tank the bung is larger. The 1/2" fit good and i use a aluminium washer at the bottom for sealing.  I have a f1 tank that i can check for what tread it is.

It is a slight PITA going from modern EFI to carburetors and petcocks and having to remember the shut-off routine.  Or remembering to turn on your petcock and having to do it on the fly when the motor starts cutting out.
