Megajolt sensors
Paul W - 29/11/09 at 03:26 PM

Iam fitting a Megajolt V4 TPS to my Ford DOHC 8v twinky with fazer 1000 carbs.
I want to connect the engine temp sensor to megajolt aux input.
As the sensor has 2 wires and megajolt only needs one does anyone have any idea which one wire to use?
Cheers Paul

megajolt doesn't need any input from temp sensors does it? unless its new on V4

yes its new on V4.
dont need it run megajolt, but its there so might as well use it

earth one and connect the other to the mjolt. i have played about with it on mine but its a bit pointless tbh. you only really need it if your having cold start issues. but if your having cold start probs then you can change the cranking settings so again pretty pointless.

i was looking at trying to make an auto choke using the temp option and an output feed to an actuator that opens the bike carb choke linkage. i was also trying to work out how to make the choke kick in when the engine is at idle and the alt kicks in but for the choke to go off when the engine rises off idle with the alt running.

the bit im having trouble with more than anything is finding an actuator that will nicely fit the bike carbs choke bar.

been trying to find something similar myself, but even if it was just actuated off a switch, switch coke on, switch choke off. done. auto would be good, but too complicated for me
