Best and Easiest :-) way to clean TQS throttle pots

[dwbarnett]

Hello folks, I drug out my TQS recently after f16 module purchase.

I have the TSUBA adapter.  I noted that there were some erratic readings.   Before getting too carried away, I wanted to do a good cleaning of the pots first.

 

Is there a reference anywhere, that may help me with this procedure.  I did a search here, but after 500 posts..I gave up. Hence this topic.

 

Thanks for any assistance.   FYI, I am not referring to the hall sensor stuff.  I know about rel4y hall sensor. I am waiting for him to release the updated ANT etc pots. Then purchase all at once.

 

Thank You in advance.

Thank You Rudel. I have seen that. I was hoping there might be a way without disassembly.

Something like a spray type cleaner/lubricant. Without throttle disassembly.

 

Thank You for your input.

Hi David .. I doubt you could do any significant cleaning from outside, and you risk messing with the grease that the TQS has inside. 

 

Also, the Pot is more likely to be worn rather than dirty, so I'd suggest to replace it with a contact-less unit .. I purchased my Pots replacements here:

 

 

I replaced the Pots of my stick, but the one on the TQS is almost the same ... this is a review that I did after I got my new pots:

 

 

Best regards,

Thank You. I thought they might be dusty/dirty since the TQS was boxed up for several years only used it 3 times.

 

Will look into the other suggestion. Thank You
