Title: ltr 450 won't run all the time Post by: micro10 on November 13, 2011, 12:28:08 PM It's a 08 ltr 450.The problem we're having is it won't stay running ,goe's to missing and popping after a couple laps at the track.Acts like it's loosing fuel.We changed the fuel pump,regulator and cleaned out the fuel system,ran great for the first heat race then started doing it again in the second heat.Started checking the electrical system,battery was low and wasn't charging.Put in a new battery and checked the voltage regulator,cleaned out the plug and added a ground strap to engine.Now it's charging and battery staying up.Went to the track last night,same problem again.Checked the plug and it looks to be running lean.It's holding 43 psi on the fuel preasure.Could the TPS be bad and cause this or should I be looking for something else? Any help would be great.Don't know much about the EFI. Thanks Wade

Title: Re: ltr 450 won't run all the time Post by: micro10 on November 30, 2011, 02:03:33 AM The good news is cleaning the injector did wonders,it was flying.The bad news is it dropped one of the exhaust valves and quit running.So got the head off to put in some new ones.Thanks for all the info.
We picked up a '06 LTR last week,the engine runs fine but theres some thing broke in the tranny.You can't push it more than 5 or 6 feet before it locks up.When you push it backwards it will roll 5 or 6 fett locks up,but if you push it hard it rolls with the starter motor engaged.So that ones coming down now.

Yeah a lot of times when they are running great is when they break, any how if you ever an engine builder let me know.We picked up a '06 LTR last week,the engine runs fine but theres some thing broke in the tranny.You can't push it more than 5 or 6 feet before it locks up.When you push it backwards it will roll 5 or 6 fett locks up,but if you push it hard it rolls with the starter motor engaged.So that ones coming down now. |
