Hurley shirt! Updates two days in a row?
Don't get too excited, this one is going to be brief.
I have got to start chipping away at the massive APRIL 1 deadline list.
So I bled the brakes this morning to get that off the list. I also found that I capped off the brake reservoir overflow/breather nipple with a vacuum cap at some point in the past. I bet that's why I've had a long pedal a few times over the past two years. :facepalm: I'll pick up some clear tube this week and route that little bugger somewhere....or I'll cap it again and vent the reservoir cap. 50/50
The elephant in the room is the new ECU and its wiring. I've been putting it off because, well frankly, I'm a little intimidated. I get all the concepts of wiring an EFI, but ECUMaster uses some different terminology and I've never used CAN before. So I'm feeling a little out of my depth.
In an effort to both make some progress and continue to postpone the beginning of the EFI install, I fabbed up an adapter to mount the new CHT sensor that is en route to me.
I started with an offcut from a previous lathe project.
A few minutes with the bandsaw and a lot of minutes with a hand file got me this far.
Another nip with the bandsaw and a visit with the drill press got me to here.
Now I don't have the new sensor, nor it's thread pitch or size. So I made another flat and then drilled a pilot hole. The sensor hole will be finished once I have the sensor in hand. This is the final location and overall shape of the adapter. It's right behind the passenger side blanking plate on the engine shroud. That means there's only three screws in my way if I need to service/check/change the sensor.
You'll no doubt notice I changed the set screw. I fired up the lathe to modify a screw from my bin to have a wee point on the end to bite into the fin just a bit and keep it from moving.
Ah heck!
Kelly just brought me a present!
I guess that's one more thing I can use to keep putting off the installation of the new ECU.
