Bangers quotNquot Mas1697456953 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 Having just fitted roller bodies I seem to be facing a problem with the throttle pot calibration in the M3D. Are there different types of throttle pot's? (linear and non linear output). Thing is, my pot's output seems finer towards low throttle settings. At tickover setting the calibration reading on the Emerald is at 630 this then causes problems because the software rejects the range as incorrect. Is it possible to re-align the map to allow 630=0? Any help would be appreciated as Emerald can't fit me in till the 25th!! Thanks in advane Andy Marks VHPD7@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyhands Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 sounds to me as if the pot is running the wrong way..., have you connected it so that the value *increases* as the throttle is opened... Oily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangers quotNquot Mas1697456953 Posted April 8, 2002 Author Share Posted April 8, 2002 That was the problem with the first one!! The roller barrels have the pot mounted on the front, std kv6 inlet it's at the rear. I've checked and double checked the rotation it is right. The mystery deepens....

EFA Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Andy, The rotation may be right, the linearity of the pot, not so. Some throttle pots use a log scale and if fitted on the wrong side with connections reversed (as would be OK with a linear TP) you will get some very confusing and odd readings.
