200 might be sick again, then again.....

[Geraint Lloyd]

thanks Rob,

the OXS is probably original.........
might be a "pre-emptive" replacement due in case it packs up completely

This is a common behavior when an OXS is getting a bit long of
tooth.  Maybe?

thanks Aaron

I have a miltimeter with me, but no manual.

 anyone know what the resistance values should be for the position
switch should be?

i guess that "if i'm right" it's going to have a spot that is
open circuit (i.e. crap on the resistor), but having the OE spec might be
useful.

First of all, I found your conversion very funny; I almost spit my 

coffee out!  :D


Your prolly on to something with the Throttle Position switch, dig out


your multimeter and ohm it out and see what you get.
