h100vw 0 Posted November 9, 2003 Check the part number on it Steve, I have one in the garage. Its out of an early one. Is the red/black wire connected at the coil. If you disconnect that it stops the power to the ISV to allow you to set the timing and the tickover. Gavin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chuck 0 Posted November 9, 2003 check the little temp senders on the gearbox side of the head too. One of them (there are 3 with another at the back of the head) controls the ISV. Can't remember which one, but 1 also does the water temp gauge on the dash. Find that one, then use it to check the others. When mine went, I changed the ISV and the water gauge ones over - meant I could drive, but without the water temp gauge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
