1 Flooding on throttle off = TPS? Fri May 27, 2011 5:45 pm

Guess this is for Ned, Ajays, crazy frog or any other TPS gurus.
Bike = 1992 K75S (TPS is a "clicker")
Managed to get involved in a bit of aftersales care for my ex bike...
Was running "ok" but needed a bit of setting up, from what I understand on the phone,
the only change that has been made is adjustment of the TPS as it was preventing the
throttle lever (between the throttle bodies) shutting
Now, only starts with a healthy handful of revs and fine at 5000, throttle off and head
literally fills up with petrol and bike belches smoke then dies.
Now I'm thinking the TPS here for 3 reasons:
1) It's just been adjusted and no issues before that
2) I don't KNOW for certain what it actually does so it's easy to blame it (yes I've
searched posts on here about it, I just don't understand them)
3) I THINK that it shuts off the injectors on throttle off to prevent backfires
- failure to do so would result in flooding right?
so to rule it out, we just disconnect it from the loom for now right?
(and worry about fixing it later) Other than that, any suggestions gratefully received.
