ktm Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 After three grueling days in 104 degree ambient heat, after three gueling days dealing with issues, she finally fired up today!!!!!!! Once I cracked the throttle plate a little bit and bumped the starter, she roared to life. I have a nasty miss that is attributable to cylinders 2, 4, and 6. The new plugs are clean as a whistle....not ANY evidence of combustion and they do not smell of gas. Plugs 1, 3, and 5 are black as night, covered in soot. The exhaust sounds GREAT, even with the miss (Borla XR-1). It is a very EVEN miss. Still, she's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 congrats Bo! I just started mine for the first time on saturday, although, its not FI. Even your XR-700 worked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 Thanks Mike! I am glad the XR-700 worked out for you. I was just about to send you a PM inquiring about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktm Posted September 4, 2007 Author Share Posted September 4, 2007 I need to give a HUUUUUUGE shoutout to Ron Tyler. He and I were on the phone quite frequently all weekend. Without his help, I would not have been able to get this project done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Congrats Bo... I wanna hear how she sounds! I'm waiting for the day to fire mine up again.

z-ya Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I've been running a Wolf system in my turbo car for close to 7 years now, and it never misses a beat. Yea, I had problems getting the kinks worked out at first, but all were my fault. I've have had zero problems with the Wolf unit itself.
