This black box has me enamored and obsessed. Must be because I'm riding an FI bike. Fucking thing needs a set of plugs for a tuneup. Yeah, I'll go back to carbs.
So I've got a nice argument going with myself really. There is an old switch on a Harley called a VOES. So there are two maps in the black box for a better name for the maps. You WOT the throttle, the vacuum inside the switch more or less pulls to create an OPEN going to the black box. Momentary open at the loop, but electronically.
This is the other curve for heavy load. Other than that, it stays in the other map, rides all day long until that kind of load meets that threshold. Then the other epiphany hits me. It's an Ivan move. Abstract says the load map is used and pretty much says, this map is for safety so when the load comes, the curve will stop it from knocking so we take precautions and use this map for load. Well, that was in the bold black box saying that.
So one, I missed the connection of switching it off and using a blow off screw to set for altitude. Sea level is one, Denver mile is another example. So way back when I had one, took a meter and watched it analog up on the vac pull. Here I'm not thinking about the vac and the blow off.
Here the head is scrambling back and forth, the dot connected to OPEN, only 2 maps, timing retard Tre, backup, sporty ride curve, eliminate the middle curve is the all day runner. Run OPEN, ride the immediate snap to the full curve.
So in degrees, both maps go like this in the numbers curve:
All day runner curve = 10-40-55... analog.
OPEN = 10-55... backup map or default.
All Day Ride map = Smooth linear transition and in analog input.
OPEN = The snap map. Reach this vac load and it pulls up the safer advance curve for heavy load. Then if OPEN, it defaults to, cough, eliminating the retard all day map.
So if the abstract says we save engine from knock, that eliminates the long retard so you stop it from firing way back there lit with a heavy kinetic load? Disaster!
And there you go. I was after moves and not Ivan. So it's cool to see the mother of linear and the mother of code as the first sensor. I had this 101 skeleton I called it, working it in the long so the exercise popped in the head out of nowhere. And this is where this Master Class for me, returned to the V thread and started in with the very first thing to look for and that's input in analog. Got to see it on the one side going in.
The revisit pings me back here and fills another think-out. VOES = TRE... Default map 'eliminates the all day map, aka, the timing retard eliminator. So I had to return to it... if you want to see the primitive side of the eliminator setting a code and seeing either map in their analog or digital settings.
Did that make sense?
