Silly question? With the clutch , I assume you checked the idler gear clearance? This is what caused me grief in the past as the primary cover gasket was too thin, black type and the idler gear was binding and causing issues with trying to select gears
Michael, The idle gear was set with the flywheel housing bolted to the gearbox with the gasket and given 4thou clearance.

The other check you should do is confirm the master cylinder bore is 0.75, not 0.7 inch.
Indigo, Tall M/C and worked perfectly on the other motor, but was thinking about building up the tip of the rod out of the slave.

The other thing you should do with new clutch slave cylinders- `silver' ones is pull the piston + seal out, then fit the seal spreader (goes on the inner spring) from your old slave cylinder.
The new ones are totally WRONG design.. so the rubbers collapse inwards particularly when parked for a bit.
Kev, Yeah, one of the silver ones, this might be worth a check.

I may have missed it, but how do you know the injectors size in incorrect if you have not been able to get it running right? Was there a big lean out in the 02 readings? Have you put a timing light on it to see if there is large scatter or its ok?
I know you have spoken to Matt Reedon it who is the man on these conversions, what else has he come up with?
Also what brand injection system are you using?
Grant, Specilist Components run 220cc injectors, info from forum member. Motor would run with carby cleaner, then run out. It was also the fuel pressure with the BMW FPR could only get 34lbs.
Don't forget Matt's conversion are many and quite varied, Turbo, non-turbo, carbs, single throttle bodies on plenums and different ECU's and not limited to using original K1100 throttle bodies and injectors.

No idea again, but throwing ideas at you ( flame them down as you will) at one point you thought 220cc injectors needed and now have 205?
FNQ, The Injectors are bosch and they finish with part #777. I ran the part No. through numerous sites and even rang an injector specialist and they were rated at evrything from 195cc to 219cc. I knew they had to be better than 150cc originals. They also had to fit the K1100 fuel rail and head. Once on the dyno I'll know if I need more
Thanks for all the opinions, it really does help and I would be lost without it.
Last thing on the clutch, as I said It still has to be trimed in on the dyno and the idle is mainly around 1000 to 1500, which is not helping getting it into gear.
Thanks again, stay tuned
