Hmmm either we don't have this T canister or I just can't draw up the picture in my head. The only things I know that are connected to the carbs would be the prime fuel line to carb 3 or 2, the throttle cable, the black main fuel line to that swivel thing that runs through all of the carbs. There are two like crankcase vent / egr things on the exhaust side of the valve cover but they are connected together with a 8 inch hose.

Excuse my terminology

 

Off topic, but I was working on one of my buds' 2001
z7s today, it had the cannister that I was trying to mention. Yes, it is a smog item but if yours were to be removed and the vacuum lines were to be re-routed....that would cause vacuum issues if not done properly. Did you replace the broken black box yet?

 

Interesting. I have not unfortunately. Trouble finding one :/ plus bikes not at my house. It's at my friend eds.

 

Possible problem areas that I feel are causing this.

Since the wires and plugs are good and getting spark, maybe the spark isn't heavy enough soo....

Coils.
Rectifier / Regulator.
Points Assembly.

I'm going to measure the coils soon. They're been sitting 15 years, along with everything else so I'm HOPING i can get a definitive diagnostic conclusion from their resistance. I'm reading a lot that their readings will often be inconclusive.


Blah.... If this were a crx, it would've been fixed by nao =p

 

Just got back from a Architecture Brigade to Honduras. Getting back to work on this baby tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow? Get in there today lol. Check out that wiring diagram and find out if any of those ignitor wires from the points are pinched on the case or shorting to the frame =p
