#224508 SurveyWaters (User) Lucky-Star Expert Boarder Posts: 456 The TPS No No 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Why is it bad to unplug the TPS wire from the carb? I want to replace my float needle and then will have to check my float level. I know the easiest way to do this is on the bench top but when I rejetted the tech article real strongly advised against removing the TPS plug from my carb. How can I get the carb on my bench? Is it an adjustment required after removal? is there another way to remove it (the other end maybe)? Can I just unplug the batterey first?   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #224512 Flashback (Moderator) Just the facts, Ma'am.. Moderator Posts: 9221 Re:The TPS No No 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Not sure what article your reading, but there is no problem UNPLUGGING the tps, what you don't want to do is remove the unit from the carb cause then you will need to re-adjust it..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #224516 SurveyWaters (User) Lucky-Star Expert Boarder Posts: 456 Re:The TPS No No 2 Years, 8 Months ago   I see, my mistake, I miss took the directions "Do not disconnect the throttle Position sensor from the Carburetor." LOL jetting sure would have been easier if I had read that correctly. I did it all dangling from a wire   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #224525 Scotto (User) Hmmmm Platinum Boarder Posts: 1576 Re:The TPS No No 2 Years, 8 Months ago   SurveyWaters wrote: I see, my mistake, I miss took the directions "Do not disconnect the throttle Position sensor from the Carburetor."

Thought it was a no no so I did the wire hanging thing also. Thanks for asking the question SurveyWaters. Will make it much easier when it comes time to re-jet. Thanks for the info Flashback.

Would have made dremeling the bowl screws much easier.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #224780 Crusierbob (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1267 Re:The TPS No No 2 Years, 8 Months ago   Man I feel much better now having been into my carb 3-4 times, and a friends a couple of times and all of them the dangly method. I learned too late that the TPS can be unplugged a little way down the line and the whole carb can then be take where ever you want. But I will say the Cam cover makes pretty stable bench for working on the carb   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
