"EXTREEM" nothing can be classesd as extreem while in the pursuit of achieving excellence.
Anyway I stripped out the park brake today and unseized the adjuster and activator mechanisims, while I was at it I also removed the prop shafts, stripped them down, lubed the splines and made sure the uni's were working appropriately with grease getting through to each of the cup bearings.
There was a slight dragging of the hand break shoes but not enough to warrant such poor fuel economy I don't think, anyway I'll take the old girl for a run tomorrow and see. Here's hoping?

Thank goodness I won't need to send flowers now.

Might be your MAF sensor. I'd not that up on the earlier injection but when I forgot to plug my MAF back in after an air cleaner change on my 95 Classic it had your symptoms.

Yep, I not too long ago went through all the sensors and they checked out OK but will do it again.
By the way I have swapped over the old "FLAPPER" type injection to the hotwire system.

Hey don't worry about the flowers "JUST SEND MONEY".

do a stall test.

if its high the stator is slipping.

check the TC lock up function.

If either of those is out theres half your issue.

Add in some off timing and rich mix and theres the rest of it.

and a little throttle pressure sense cable slackness just for some extra measure.

If your handbrake was dragging cold then it will tighten up when warm.

Hmmm, yep good point Philip, but I still cannot feel it locking up in fourth.

Hi Blknight,
Can you explain how to carry out a stall test please?
I have my own idea on how to do it but would like you clarify it for me if you could please.
