WOT problems XRI EFI 150 blackmax

[Jonathan Albritton]

I have an XRI EFI blackmax 150, I think its 1995 (S# 0G199866). I was having problems when I was above ~2000rpm where the motor would die for a split second then start back again. After some trouble shooting I think I have it narrowed down to the idle stabalizer. On the last trip out the motor died for a split second a couple of times, I then disconnected the white/black wire from the idle stabalizer and the motor ran the rest of the day with no problems. I have heard of removing the idle stabalizer, but I'm a little concerned on the timing of the motor. My questions are:

1) Can I just leave the white/black cable disconnected with no problems, or should the whole module be removed? What would be the downside of just disconnecting the white/black wire?

2) Does the timing need to be changed to a different spec with no idle stabalizer?

(1) The wht/blk jumper has to be tied to both boxes when box is removed...
(2) Yes......20degrees...

Thanks for the info. For the timing, 20 at static max timing (with starter)?

yep....

There is already a white/black jumper for the two switch boxes, are you saying just leave that there, or do I need to add a jumper somewhere else?

Also, what about the white/black wire coming from the idle stabalizer shift kit, not the idle stabalizer module? And in the manual it says to retard 3 from the timing specs if I have the stabalizer shift, so would I time it to 17 instead of 20 even if I disconnect it and the module?
