Going to review what I have posted in the last few and make sure I have not made any glaring errors. Once I do this will chart the next batch of postings.

EFI ignition only components installed and engine initial timing has been done. Time for first start. All things being equal, the engine will probably start first time, much to your amazement, it will probably stall as well. Jack up the engine idle screw and get the engine operating with a 1500...

A new thread has started on the GW Docs forum regarding GW 1200 pulse generator. The thread owner suspects that the PG sensors on his ’86 Aspencade are failing. It is mentioned that these PG sensors are no longer available so an alternative must be found. GL1500 PG sensor(s) can be used, but the...

Thinking a disclaimer is needed about now. This post is not a how to, but a what is possible for the owners of older GWs. I have read quite a few forum threads where the owner(s) or new owner(s) feel that there is no hope of resurrecting these older GWs. This results in the selling of the...

Engine timing is next to be considered. Owners of older GWs do not have to spend a lot of time on this. There are two timing issues, alignment of the crank and camshafts using the “T1” indication on the crankshaft, an idle timing using “F1” indication on the crankshaft. Idle timing is...

I submit that the last post answered my question and premise regarding a replacement ICU for the 1200 GWs: https://classicgoldwings.com/threads/ignition-control-module-icu-replacement-project-for-the-gl1200-non-fi-models.15450/#post-231257

Once you decide on the ECU, you will need to get the Speeduino compatible engine tuning software. This is Tuner Studio, and MegaLogViewer, and get the license for each - unlocks additional needed tuning and diagnostics. If you do not want to commit to an EFI project, you can do a bench test...

Keeping these older GWs on the road is the reason for this thread. Lots of “barn” finds being reported and discussed on the various forums that may be in need of some innovative solutions to get these “barn” finds, and keep them on the road. Back to the topic at hand, EFI ignition only install...

Electronic Fuel Injection - conversion, upgrade, partial install - ignition or fuel. Daunting project to be sure. Is this a "black" art, or a learned skill set that anyone can acquire. We question our abilities when it comes to such a project. I know I did with the CFI ECU upgrade/replacement...

As mentioned I have another thread that I have started on the GW Doc forum. I will forge forward and discuss this topic from three viewpoints, fuel only, ignition only, and the "full monty" - fuel and ignition. Thought some more on this topic. I'm new at EFI ECU engine tuning. There are...

Good Morning Dan. Nice to see you're still kicking. Trust all is well with you and yours. Concepts and specifics, see this is EFI posts quite often. There are no formal courses for a person to get accreditation or certified as an EFI engine tuner. It appears that this is the school of...

Started a new thread on GW Docs. Going to bring the posts over to here and I am taking my time and posting in a chronological order. There is a lot to be considered with EFI.

You gentlemen need to get a life :cool::LOL: as do I. Thanks for reading and the likes. Thinking that you are doing the "like" just to keep me going. Going to pontificate a bit. It is interesting as I delve further into the EFI world what you learn. Seems the EFI world is full of EFI...

Good afternoon. Put together a post on EFI fuelling. It is my understanding of what happens, and can be done. It's rather long, but I hope it's beneficial. Fuelling – VE tables Where to start with this one. ITB, Port fuel injector profiles. Note: this post is based on the good, better...

Thanks for the likes. Next post will be on fuelling.

Continuing with the journey. Have been contemplating switching to the Alpha-N fuelling profile using the TPS as load combined with RPM. Started with speed density (SD), but this fuelling profile on a bike has a very narrow tuning window. Did a lot of research and found that quite a few...

Good morning. Research is never ending. Found an EFI ECU that is no bigger then a deck of cards. It is called the C2C - Compact 2 Channel ECU. It is a good option for a basic EFI install with paired injectors and wasted spark. The specs are: On-board USB Internal MAP Sensor (4 Bar)...

Have been reviewing what aftermarket Speeduino or Speeduino compatible interface boards. The Arduino Mega 2560 R3 is the microprocessor of choice; however, there are other microprocessors being used. There is the Arduino 2560 "Pro", a compact version of the Mega 2560, but with all the same...

More info regarding the Speeduino ECU. There are developments I have not been aware of until now. There are Speeduino clone boards that do not use the Arduino Mega 2560 as a separate microprocessor. These two boards are: C2C - compact 2 channel at: https://diy-efi.co.uk/product/c2c. and the...

I know that the Speeduino ECU will do ignition only. Was checking my ECU install, reverted back to paired injectors to determine if the dash tach would work, but the engine would not start because the ECU would not fire the injectors. The igniters were firing. So ignition only is possible...
