First Test Ride of My Honda Pacific Coast on Fuel Injection
After literally years of work, I finally pulled my Honda Pacific Coast out of the garage to test it out for the first time ever on fuel injection. The tuning went well up until I hit a slight snag. I had the exhaust cover sitting in the trunk during the test ride. That cover ended up hitting the battery cutoff switch that I installed several years ago. When the bike lost power, it backfired. The backfire blew out the wideband O2 sensor due to a JB Weld failure. The moral of the story is that I need to weld the exhaust bung in place. A friend is going to come over and do the welding later this week so that I can get back to my tuning next week.
After so many years of work, the bike is FINALLY starting to run with fuel injection. I do believe this makes me the first ever in the history of Honda Pacific Coast motorcycles to ride one using fuel injection. Huzzah!
I spent some time today on my Honda PC800 fuel injection conversion project. I am getting the tune file together so that I am ready to take the bike to a dyno for final tuning. The biggest things that I still need to address are 1) tidy up the wires, 2) adjust…
After my little incident with a backfire causing the JB-Welded exhaust O2 sensor bung to blow out of my PC800, I decided it was time to weld up the bung properly. As luck would have it, Andrew has a portable welder and volunteered to do some welding for me. We…
I did some work today to add a second set of vacuum taps to the Honda Pacific Coast PC800 carburetor that I have modified into fuel injection throttle bodies as part of my long-running fuel injection conversion project. In this photo you can see two metal pipes penetrating the lower…
