alpine04 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 installed a set of brand new toomey t5s a few days ago and had it jetted nice and everything and it was working awesome and pullin hard, but today it was workin like crap from the second i had started it. it has trouble opening up unless i clutch it and in 5th and sixth gear i cant get it to open up at all. today was raining and pretty damp if that might make a difference. tried new plugs even though it was running on two cylinders. stock except for t5s, uni filter and no air box lid. never checked compression yet but was working 100% when i parked it.

Finch Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 what did the plugs look like when ya changed them? Quote
alpine04 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 no filter is dry and plugs looked golden color Quote
alpine04 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Posted May 20, 2013 would dirt in pilot jet do this? Quote
Starwriter Posted May 20, 2013 Report Posted May 20, 2013 Did the wire harness get against the right stinger and get melted/shorted? Quote
tdod101 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 X2 on the wiring harness, when I bought mine idiot had it rubbing against the pipes thank god it didn't melt that badly, I just re routed it to run through the middle of the frame with zip ties Quote
alpine04 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Posted May 21, 2013 damn never thought of that, il have to check that because i forgot to mention at idol it was acting up almost like i was hitting the kill switch on and off is how the miss was Quote
alpine04 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Posted May 21, 2013 checked all over the pipes looking to see if the harness would be touching the pipes and never noticed where any wires were too close to the pipes. where would this most commonly happen, up on the stingers? or some where on the mid pipe? im almost certain that this is the problem because of the way it was missing Quote
tdod101 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 More than likely right around where the pipes meet the stingers OR just past that if its taped to the frame, do your self a favour and re route it anyways. Makes things easier in the long run Quote
Starwriter Posted May 21, 2013 Report Posted May 21, 2013 You posted that you have the stock airbox. There are 3 tabs on the right side of the airbox to hold the wires away from the right stinger. The wire harness goes over, under, over the tabs, or something like that. This problem is more common when people run pods and don't do anything to tie up the wires. Quote
