Made a bit of a balls refurbing my k1100 tb's
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi guys

stripped my tb's over the weekend to paint and polish bits aswell as give all the parts a thorough clean.

removing the butterfly from the first body i forgot to slide the butterfly out before tapping the shaft with a hammer. as they are soft they have marked. got it to fit again and rebuilt it to find that in the fully closed position when you hold it to the light you can see a bit of light around the edges, on 1 i haven't stripped yet you cant.

on the shaft ive also noticed 1 of the screws wont fully tighten and just spins. it does hold threads however

im assuming i will need replacement parts for this? or can i throw a bit of locktight on the screw and leave the gap around the throttle, its not overly big, like i say you can only see it holding it against light.

Throttle discs are shapped to fit only one way. Have you re fitted it in the original orientation?

Oh and think where a loose screw would end up if it came undone

thats what i thought about the screw, have emailed motorwerks to source replacements just need the shaft and the disc but i recon i could have fun sourcing them.
