Thanks, don't know why I didn't find that document, I looked through lots of other ones.

Where did you run your vacuum off? mine doesn't have an outlet as shown on slide 5.

And what did you do with all the wires for the TPS, just cut them off or tie them back somewhere out of the way?

[NordieBoy]

No vacuum. TPS shaft broken off with a pair of pliers and tape over the hole.
Wires... Dunno. I'll have a looksy tomorrow.

You're not using the stock fuel tap?

I picked up more farkle tonight courtesy of Aslan shipping inc, mmmmmmm.

If the TPS shaft is broken off with a pair of pliers I guess whats done with the wires is irrelevant, it's never going to work anyway.

It looks like I'll have to shave a small ridge off the outside edge of the intake to fit the adapter sleeve on.

Stock IMS fuel tap.
I unscrewed the wires from inside the TPS block by the look of the wirey thingy on the floor of the shed.
But it may be from something else entirely...

Speaking of carbs, does anyone know if there is a local distributor for fuel mixture screw to fit std BST40 CV carburator? I can only find FCR screws locally, and the ones I found for the BST40 overseas the freight is about twice the value of the screw.

If it's the same as a BST33 carb then I have one here I'm not using.
flick us a p.m. with your addy

More garage time in the shed today courtesy of DR650Gary and Aslan couriers inc I now have an IMS tank. Fitting wasn't quite plug and play and a call to the Nelson DR oracle confirmed I needed to elongate a few holes on the seat mounting tabs as the IMS seems to come back a bit deeper than the stock tank.

Weird. Mine bolted straight up. It came with the bracket for the seat to slide onto, It was bit tighter but no real drama.
