So, Tiger's been back on the road since start of the month. In past months I had noticed it was sometimes reluctant to start easily and the idle was dropping when cold (~600 i.s.o. ~900). Normally fine once it goes closed loop. So thought it was time to check the throttle body settings and do some balancing. Previously I've just done the TPS and each idle bleed screw. This time I did the whole lot including reseting the stops for each pair of TBs as well as calibrating the spring link between the pairs. I was relieved to find that it now starts on the button and the idle is spot on - I can just press the starter button and don't even need to think about playing with the throttle. What I hadn't expected is how much better it would perform in the top half of the rev range. OMG, it's like it's been turbo-ed. It absolutely rips and seems to do so much more smoothly. Perhaps it was like this when new and slowly I've got used to how it is now. Really pleased.
So, if you got ITBs, it's defintely worth checking the calibration and balance the cylinders once in a while.
In other news, I've been working on the garage lighting. Some of the fluorescent tubes have been failing, so thought I'd replace with a bunch of LED units. So now I have 6x60W (33,000 lumens!) of light. Reminds me of this:
