#502477 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 tps adjustment 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   okay this lil p.o.s. has cost me enough money and time now im through with it ive tried adjusting it came up with my old one was toast got a new one and still no ohms cannot get the new one to register used two diffrent ohm meters trying still nada have no clue what im doing wrong ive spent time doing tps mod to my hsr to no avail touching red probe to the blue pin in the connector and black to black prong no reading both off the carb and on the carb, carb mounted on the bike and just laying on the work bench absolutly frustrated with it any ideas???   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #502484 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5275 Re:tps adjustment 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   have you tested the meter with just a single resistor to verify both meters are good? Maybe a fuse has blown in both meters? But for 2 TPS' to be bad, highly doubt. Blue to black wire should be approx 5k ohms, yellow to either wire (blk or blu) should see ohms change as you turn it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #502561 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

Turned to ohms, auto ranging fuzes are fine dont have a resistor handy to check to make sure though. Funny thing though should be getting some kind of reading by touching the probes together or even touching my hand with them agreed next to nothing but should be somthing hmmmmmmm. Continuity works on both meters guess the next thing is to go down to a electrical parts house and buy a resistor to test it correctly d@#$ I hate to think that both my meters arent working they are both not the cheapos one of them is a real spendy meter I used to use to check duty cycle on my tattoo machines before they came out with power supplies that did it for you....   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #503161 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14659 Re:tps adjustment 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Something just doesn't sound right. I have never heard of a TPS going bad but that doesn't mean it couldn't. If you were closer I have a digital meter that I know works and isn't a cheap one.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #503163 Erbman02 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5275 Re:tps adjustment 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   yes, touching the leads together should get ya zero ohms. Ok, lets go to next elimination, probe leads. Take one out, and with the other one still connected, put the probe on the other side. Try with each probe, could be an open in the probe wire itself. Hmm, but strange that continuity works. Most meters have 2 fuses, one strictly for amps, the other for all other functions. Is it testing voltage? Can use an light bulb to check ohms, should be a low resistance.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #503171 tatinguy (User) S.R.B.S.I. proud member Senior Boarder Posts: 329 Re:tps adjustment 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   will check tonight but would thing that if its a lead that wouldnt show continuity might just borrow a freinds meter and see if it works but yeah checked both fuzes in each meter and both have continuity   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
