Nice, and no the cluster won’t light up unless the sled is running

So a common problem on RX-1's is the starter relay sticking after it's running and burning up your battery and starter because of it. This happened to me and it seemed outrageous to pay $500 for a new RX-1 starter when you can get an aftermarket Apex starter for $70. I figured it was worth it...

Stator should have nothing to do with the starting circuit. I would start testing from the battery to the starter to make sure you have voltage everywhere you should

Thanks maim for the help. It ended up being something gummed up in the throttle cable. It doesn’t make sense to me how it could be that because the butterfly was doing what it should but I was wiggling on the linkage because I was out of possibilities and something clicked and it idled right...

Just wondering how does it work. I know there’s the 2 sensors and they have to be in check with each other, but mechanically what does it do to retard the engine to 3000 rpm?

I did not have the diaphram caps off, but I will check the carbs

I looked over every thing as carefully as I could and I can't see anything unhooked. I even looked up a schematic of the carburetor to see where everything goes and it looks fine to me

the slides are down, and I pushed them up to look at the butterfly and the butterfly is closed and moves with the throttle like it should

Today I looked into it and thought it would be the TORS sensor acting up. So I bypassed it and started it and it took off going wide open, luckily my flailing arm hit the kill switch before I flew off the back. I took the airbox off and checked the throttle butterfly to see that it's closed...

Sounds like rings to me

I just took it apart and made sure everything was seated right and it didn't seem to make a difference. I noticed too that it sounds weird too, Ill see if I can upload a video later today

Ok, I will defiantly look into buying a skid plate from somewhere, will it fit with the exchanger being a little out of wack? Idk how the aftermarket ones mount on

There are a lot of rivets in there, we couldn't think of a way to rig something to push a jack off of so we just beat on it some more and riveted a piece of valley tin on the front of it to keep snow from packing up in the hole, since there' s a big gap behind the protector plate to change the...

Hey guys, I just finished fixing my heat exchanger and now my engine won't run right. I had the rear end lifted up in the air for a while so that might've done it. Anyways I went to start it up after I put every thing back together and I couldn't get it to fire. So I put a little bit of gas in...
