Time to say goodbye to the Strom
I can no longer make it through the garage without getting a bar end in the rib cage. The Strom must go.

Perhaps it wasn’t an air leak after all
This is what i found after disassembling the fuel pump filter.
In search of a vacuum leak
My ongoing saga of hesitation continues. The latest chapter includes visually inspecting everything.
Throttle Body Sync on the Strom
The following videos show two different sync tools borrowed from Craig. I had originally synced the throttle bodies on the VStrom with a home-made “U-Tube” filled with transmission fluid. I wanted to try actual carb balancers to see if the homemade tool was indeed accurate.

Old school mercury filled tubes
The old mercury filled tool has a longer scale so the extra distance the liquid travels provides better sensitivity than the tool with the steel sliders with a shorter range of travel. Both tools verified my home grown settings. With less than a half inch of difference between cylinders I’m good to go.
