I am at a total loss for what else to look into so any help would be appreciated
I have tried searching and alot of the treads that discuss issues similar to mine taper out and do not contain the actual fix....
Here’s the story –
2012 pro rmk with a 2013 BD Intercooled turbo
Ran great for 500 miles last year and on my first ride this year I started having issues- I stored it with a few gallons of 100ll - sled was started weekly idled up to temp stored inside- fuel was syphoned before my first ride and I put in 5 gall of straight 100ll in
Sled ran great for a half hour then would stutter and not want to rev up and get into the boost from idle, this progressed to the sled not reving up while in and out of the throttle & If I held it to the bar it would stutter and eventually rev and boost up. It was like hitting a wall around 5900-6500 rpm and going way lean on my AFR 17-19.9 in all throttle positions around that rpm (I verified my fuel settings were the same as last year)
The sled runs great up to 6000 ish rpm, idles smooth and feels great no hesitation or anything on the very bottom
No check engine lights, no det
Took it to the dealer to have tps, injectors, and fuel pressure checked- tps was out of spec and adjusted- took it out for a ride and no change
Put new spark plugs in
I then replaced my bellows, and cleaned the guillotines and all ports both were good but found the line into the solenoid was rubbed through from the steering arm fixed hose- went back out no change.
checked ground wires
Checked primary clutch everything is good.
Tried plugging the vent line off the exhaust valves – no change
swapped stock pipe egt with working pros - no change
Swapped fuel tanks with working pro – no change
Replaced fuel filter - no change
Verified aux injectors are working
Tried increasing fuel in the 5700-7900 rpm ranges with no change
Checked waste gate on turbo, all hoses and lines associated with the turbo and found no issues. Spark plugs and pistons show lean condition as well
Since the problem worsened the highest rpm I have hit is 7300 (according to BD box) & 5.6#’s (I am set on 10#’s)
Any ideas or other things to check would be greatly appreciated
I am planning on taking the turbo off this weekend and exaiming everything up close & seeing if the problem is still there in stock form.
Also i did a headlight delete when the turbo was put on and did not add any lights or resistor... could something electrical be fried? how would i test..?
Thanks
