    Tci and booster or Pressure sensor tested all ok, the timing advances like it supposed to. Yesterday they checked for a restriction in the exhaust - disconnected the pipes, still died at 5200, so, no exhaust restriction. I'll stop in again on Wed.

    It's going back in on Friday or so, to check if the timing advances. ***Gary Z., Can I remove the pressure / boost sensor and replace it or check it if I remove the battery box or is it a huge job to get to it ?

    Yes I can red line my bike without a load. Vacuum Sensor, same as Boost Sensor, under the battery Box ? ** So just remove the battery box and it's under there ?? This is something I could buy and try - wouldn't cost me a ton of money. Is the sensor the same for all the years ?

    Initially - Mechanic thought it might have something to do with restricted exhaust - like a mouse got in and filled the pipe equalizer, under the kick stand, with Fiberglass insulation. Sounds empty, appears to be lots of air coming out, plug one side the other side increases. If this was the case, I think, it wouldn't red line without load ? ? I CAN red line it w/out load I havn't gone back yet - I wanted to have lots of ideas from you guys, thanks, I'll check in with him in a couple of days........... thanks again, I'll keep you posted.

    I replaced the fuel filter last night - No change, still acts up.

    Had my 25K miles, 85 venture for about 6 years, it never ran right - it would cut out at 6200 rpm, spit, sputter at full throttle on excelleration, I know it needed to have the carbs cleaned but I didn't want to spend the money. I just forked out over 200 bucks to clean the carbs, new plugs, wires, now it hesitates and doesn't go over 5200 rpms at full throttle. If I don't have it wide open I can reach redline in 1st. 2nd gear tops out at about 4500 rpm. Mechanic claims it is not the carbs mainly because it goes great until 5200 rpms ? I'm frustrated - I don't know how to fix the bike myself yet - IF it was a carb problem at 6200, so why not a carb problem at 5200 ?? I've already paid the bill, don't want to invest more money. I feel like I should have just left it alone if this is as good as it gets. Any ideas ?
