I'm installing a MicroSquirt system.
This thread IS NOT A MS/SDS/Carb DEBATE! If you don't like MS please leave. I'm tired of the endless, worthless debate. Anyway, now on the the fun stuff! I am using the TPS off of a Volvo 850 because it's a Bosch sensor (I like sticking with OEM manufacturers when possible), fits the D-shaft throttle and is appropriate for MS. I made the adapter plate today. Attached image(s) |

FINALLY made some more progress on this install. I got the toothed wheel back from Mike Mueller, who did the mods for me. It fits just fine and I installed it on my latest 2056 during the cam break in. So it spins just fine, as expected.
I did a lot of searching in the back room of my local NAPA, opening every VR sensor box they had to find one that was small and light. This is the one that I found and I assembled a quick test bracket. The VR sensor will mount on the existing case stud so there will be no holes or other modifications made to any parts. Installing this system will require the motor to be removed and the fan housing to be unbolted. Even though removing the motor isn't ideal for a 'bolt-on' system, I think that eliminating the need for permanent modifications is a worthwhile goal. Anyway, here's the pics. I have a couple videos as well that I'll post shortly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Attached image(s) |

How is this going to work? |
