I would disconnect both positive and negative terminals on the battery. I don’t have that fuel controller but I would be very suppressed if you had to reprogram every time the battery went dead or changed
Tony Mod
I plan on doing the Tony mod and Tony can probably best answer this but anyone is welcome to chime in that has done his mod before. Do you have to disconnect the battery before you weld and will I have to reset the Fuggin fuel controller or will it save the settings if I pull the ground cable off the battery before I start welding. I do not want to mess up the electrical system hooking the ground up to weld.

Thanks my ole bud! I knew if you were logged on here a answer would come soon. New shop will be ready in about three weeks and then your mod begins.
Great question that could be overlooked by many! Without a doubt make sure to disconnect the battery before welding!I plan on doing the Tony mod and Tony can probably best answer this but anyone is welcome to chime in that has done his mod before.

Hey RSS!!!! OSHA are nice asshat's and morons, the keep are butts safe with stupid rules and dumbass regulations. These dipnords save lives every day by pissing us off so we leave the job before we knock thier dicks in the dirt. so ease up!!!
Okay, I totally understand why you are getting at... But, do you actually look at some of the things that they regulate or do you follow their word every step of the way? These are pencil pushers that look at accident reports and "suggest" the best way to do things...Hey RSS!!!!

I understand the "safety value of things as I have to look after 20 or so people everyday", but I work in an industrial environment so I totally HEED their word everyday that I work... But if you look at my initial statement... Most of them do not leave their desk's to do what you or me does and honestly, THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND that some of the things that they "regulate", absolutely do not make sense in any sense of the word...
That is what I am saying... so WHERE is your argument after understanding what I am saying?
oh, btw...
to understand that... understand the laws which you are attesting to...
GROUND THE BIKE after you get done with it...
You have to understand a charge is a charge, and will remain in the chassis even when you take out the battery. The battery will actually help "ground" out that "charge" you are talking about... As you were stating, you don't disconnect the ground or the battery... But, if you understand that "grounding" things out will solve this issue, that will help in the long run...
My saying "Ground the bastard" when you are grinding or welding to it...."
Do you actually understand that the charge comes from the "ground" or a negative flowing into the positive"... This may help in your understanding of the issue of why you can totally disconnect your battery and still screw up your system... Understand that while your battery is in the other room that the positive neutrons are building up with no where to go... (your tires suppress the neutrons)... So, grounding out the chassis will help with what you are saying...
So, do you think that OSHA understands the laws of OHM or the laws of physics...? Probably not, again... pencil pushers...
jk RSS just venting also. construction sites are my playground, a 37 story J.W. Marriot in Indianapolis right now. OHSA(assshats) are everywhere. Do I follow their rules??? yes, (when they are watching)
there is a gray/grey area to work in and occasionally you get and OSHA (moron) who understands and doesn't carry a fine sheet
Read my whole statement ( I changed it bout 5 times after I read your statement) , but I see what you are getting at... We don't always follow the rules, but we understand that they are there for safety, right...?jk RSS just venting also. construction sites are my playground, a 37 story J.W. Marriot in Indianapolis right now. OHSA(assshats) are everywhere. Do I follow their rules??? yes, (when they are watching)
Sure, there are those "OSHA guys" that don't understand ANYTHING, but then there are those that do and understand (you can ask anybody in the electrical business) that things aren't totally understood, no matter how much education that they have.
So I will degress and say yes, it is totally fine to do the "Tony Mod" with the battery and everything in tact, but... "GROUND OUT THE BIKE" when done. Does that help the situation any... before starting the bike, Ground the bastard out...
Lol... like your reason's for editing... that is funny as hell...
Well The Way I Figure, All You Educated Guys With All Your Degrees Can't Agree On Nut-tin! Nut-tin! Nut-tin! At Least, I Did Not Have To Go To College To Be Confused!
LOL. I can't, at the moment, remember who said it (CRS disease!), but I believe I'm quoting correctly: "It is the imperative of education to replace cocksure ignorance with thoughtful uncertainty".Well The Way I Figure, All You Educated Guys With All Your Degrees Can't Agree On Nut-tin!
