When Nikki was riding my quad at LS, it ran funny, and then wouldn't start. When she got back to camp, someone noticed my TB boot to the head and TB was partially knocked off. At first I thought no big deal, proabbaly just got jarred just right and popped off (Especially with the way the WK intake attaches to the TB, i wasn't super-suprised). Well, I just went out to the garage, put the TB boot back on securely on both sides, put the tank fuel line and fuel pump wires on and hit the starter....POP!!! Big backfire, TB off again
OK...so, first thought was...hmm, check the dynatek and PC3 to make sure all connections were ok...they were. So i decided to try and isolate the issue...I disconnected and removed the dynatek and put the connections back to stock. Tried starting again....POP!
WTF
TB off again
I was about to disconnect the PC3 to see if that was the issue when i noticed some very cooked wire connections....
I believe the first is the plug from the crank position sensor..
This second picture is of a short connector between the CPS out wire to the wiring harness (Splice is where the dynatek taps in)
This third Picture is the where the short connector plugs into the wiring harness..
My question is, can I simply wire the CPS wires to the WIring harness without the short jumper connection? or is there a resistor or something else in their?
is there a purpose to this short jumper beyond adding a bit of extra lentgh to the connection?
I'm hoping that this burnt connection is the issue causing the backfire....makes sense to me, without agood crank position reading the ignition timing is gonna be wacked, and a source of the backfire.
