Hello all,
I've been working on my k100 and i was looking to address my fueling issue. My bike is running extremely rich and my clothes reek of exhaust after a ride.
One of my repair manuals says that I should adjust the CO pot, and to my surprise there isn't one installed. This bike was non running when I bought it and I guess it just didn't have one. I double checked with my stock k100 and can confirm the location. (Both are 1992 k100rs). I heard that without the CO pot, the ECU just ends up running rich. If I can determine the resistance range of the CO pot, what's stopping me from using any old potentiometer as a replacement? Replacement co pots are pretty pricey and I can't afford it at the moment.
I also forgot to mention I'm running the bike without O2 sensors. Are they necessary for fueling? Are they emission related?
Any input? Thanks all!
