Living Legend
Hans my friend,
just how much storable memory do you think the PCV has?
It samples the air, holds THAT info, then runs THAT mixture till you tell it to learn again.
I got to wondering about it yesterday, so I called the tech guru yesterday at Dobeck.
I asked about leaning the fuel down just to make sure I was right, and I was.
The 3.0 won't lean past factory settings, the 3.5 will.
I asked if the generation 4.0 was comparable to the PCV.
He's buddies with the tech guys at Dynajet, same town, same interests, I guess same bars, etc.
Anyway, the Generation 4.0 was pulled before it went on sale,
because the info I posted above, is the info the dynajet techs gave him,
and Dobeck wouldn't sell a unit that didn't do ALL that they said it would.
Now there is a list for the 4.0, I'm number 2 on the list now.
The 4.0 is a stand alone unit and only reads the A/F mixture at this point.
It's now used in conjunction WITH the 3.0 or 3.5,
uses suction cups to hold it on the tank, has a + & - wire an that's how complicated it is to hook up,
well that, and it has a probe to screw into the air sensor bung.
THAT gives you a true reading in real time, and you adjust the 3.0 or 3.5 accordingly.
BTW, the Generation 4.0 isn't for sale,
Dobeck is sending it out as a "tool" you can borrow then send back.
Once they get it where it WILL adjust on the fly so to speak,
they'll start selling them, but at this point, NO UNIT does it continually,
at least according to the dynajet techs and my Dobeck guy.
now don't get me wrong, the PCV does learn in learn mode,
but that's the info you're running on continuously, at least according to the techs.
Now I'm guessing you could continuously run your PCV in "learn" or as an open loop system,
but at some point I would think the internal memory would overload
and leave it as a non functioning unit sitting beside the road somewhere fairly inconvenient, I'd guess.
So, I think I'll stick with my simple little unit and keep riding my dependable Dobeck equipped bike.
now the above scenario is hypothetical of course, your results may vary,
it may run forever in learn or "open loop" mode, good luck with that.
But at least it will give ya real time info in "learn" mode like it says it will,
and that's a good thing.
Now none of this is personal experience ya understand,
or meant to promote one unit over the other,
I'm just passing along info I got from the tech.
I figure the more informed we are, the better able we are to make informed decisions.
