MAP sensor reading erratic and maybe a little high?
I have just installed my MAP sensor barb in the throttle body. I have been reading up on the installation and I believe that I've put it in a reasonable spot. My engine is a 2 stroke case reed twin that idles @ 1600-1800 rpm, and I get MAP readings from 85kpa to 93~95kpa. Which I believe to be causing my idle to jump around. Attached is a screen shot of my MAP sensor location.

- This is looking into the throttle body, you see the butterfly valve, injector, and just to the right a brass 1/4" fitting for the MAP sensor.

Strokers are famous for rough idle, with weird pulses at the intake. Have you tried adjusting the MAP sampling window?

Re: MAP sensor reading erratic and maybe a little high?
No I have not, if that does not give me desirable readings is there anything else I could try? I read somewhere about decreasing the diameter of the Map sensor tubing i.e. a choke point to smooth out the air pressure. Would that be something worth trying?
