It's a _very_ abrupt cutoff; maybe I'm just hitting the rev limiter. Need to try again tonight and see what RPM it's happening at; I was watching the boost gage rather than the tach. > If you haven't already, try to increase the fuel/air ratio by turning the > adjustment screw 1/4 turn clockwise at a time and see what happens. Which adjustment screw, please? This is a CIS fuel injected system, does that change what you're saying? > Also > check the so-called "control-pressure".

My 900 manuals are good for almost everything, but they're too new for some stuff, and my 99 manual is too old for the turbo stuff.

I put BCP6s in there, which I think is as hot as I should go, yes? Dave
