Thanks Erik.
Page 13 must be around here some where...
I wired in the WBo2 setup using small connectors so I can change from the Holley supplied narrow band sensor to the WBo2 sensor in a few seconds. (once the center armrest is removed)
I then hooked up the laptop and turned the ignition on. It all looks to be working ok. The "lean" voltage from the WBo2 presented on the Holley software is showing 4.98 which is pretty close to what it should be reading as a max lean. It will be interesting to see if the WBo2 and the Holley agree on the A/F ratio. If they do and the WBo2 is working correctly it should run the engine ok. (I hope.) The only odd thing I noticed was a MAP value of zero. Looking into the middle of Russ544's ITB found the cause. After the final wire harness redo, I had left the connector off the MAP sensor. It now shows a value of 92. Someday I will figure out what it should show for ambient pressure. (approx)
The only thing holding this back from a trial run is gas, a fuel pump relay and the mufflers.[This message has been edited by cptsnoopy (edited 10-22-2008).]

Man am I jealous...Mine was so close to getting on the road, but one thing has led to another and now I don't have any front suspension in the car...
Good deal Charlie...

If you keep doing the same thing,

Thanks for the support guys. There is still plenty to do before it is road worthy but it will be very nice to here it run for a few moments. (assuming it will.) I will have to post a video and I am expecting plenty of smoke...

Joe, you spy correctly. It is an 01 CR500 made street legal to satisfy the park rangers when riding down the "improved" roads around 4-peaks. (a local mountain with plenty of fun riding around it.) The only other changes were to replace the stock 14t front sprocket with a 15t and add a Scott's Steering damper. Almost all of our riding is desert trail/mountain with sand washes, hard pack dirt and rocky trails. Only when I get too old to kick this thing over will I consider a KTM 300, 2 stroke with electric start.

I have been busy doing other mandatory things so it has been a little slow getting anything done on the car. I managed to figure out a way to mount the mufflers to the rear of the frame. I think this may work but the only way I see to find that out is to try it. I mounted the mufflers using some angle iron and some rubber mounts. They seem to be pretty secure. Both mufflers looked even when looking at them from the rear of the car but the left muffler looks higher than the right muffler in the pictures I took. I will have to check that and adjust it when the body is being secured onto the car. I hope to find an oval exhaust tip that will be about the same size and shape as the end plate of the muffler. There is about 6" of room to add a tip that will make them look nice.

Sounds great Joe! You are welcome to come over to have a look and help me drink some of these corona's I have in the fridge. 
The only issue may be that I am on the other end of town. (next to Firebird raceway)

With a little work I got the cooling system to hold water and the fuel system to hold fuel. I hope to turn the key on it tomorrow sometime.

Looks like allot of hard work is about to pay off, good luck with the first go. How did you end up wiring the positive cable?
I used 00 welding cable very similar to yours and bought connector ends at the welding supply store that are copper and solder onto the big welding cable. Then I hooked the positive straight to the starter. No messing with the old positive cable trying to figure out how to connect those cables together. For charging I ran #4 welding cable from the power block by the C500 to the starter. I also ran #4 welding cable from the alternator to the power block.
