Looking for photo of '99 Python Part

[Kmayotte]

Looking for someone with the original python (8.2L). I believe this was '99 and '00 to take a photo of the throttle position sensor.
Starboard side of engine if direct drive, right below the idle air control valve.

Just trying to verify how it should look. Photos of mine below showing location and photo head on to see your part.

Photo showing TPS removed

I can get you some pics of my Super Sport this week. I replaced the TPS on mine a couple years back and it totally cleaned up a rough idle I was experiencing in case that is something you are chasing.

That would be great. I'm question how it leaves the leftside of the circle gap'd.

Yes chasing rough idle/stalling when put into gear. Really only happens after engine has been warmed up. So after a few skiers it starts stalling when put into gear. You have to bump the throttle to keep it running.

So far has replaced:
Spark Plugs
Cap
Rotor
IAC

TPS and fresh fuel filter going in this weekend.

I should have time tomorrow to uncover it and get you a couple of pics. I went through almost the same progression as you chasing the exact issue you described. I think I did the IAC and TPS at the same time and it was like a whole new boat. It brought the idle down a little bit and was just so much smoother idling and going into and especially going into gear.

What part of Winnie are you on? I used to vacation up there a bunch with my family growing up in the mid/late 90s. We'd stay in Buzzel Cove in Moultonboro but we'd get all around the lake in our 90 Sport Nautique. Going up to Wolfoboro next month but probably leaving the boat at home as my buddy doesn't really have room for another boat at his dock.

Good to know. I was really surprised the IAC didn't cure it.
Really hope I can get it sorted. Engine runs very strong but certainly has a knock at idle and lower RPM's.

We're in Moultonboro too. Just east of the long island bridge behind foley island.
If you guys want to go out for a rip let me know. Would be curious to have a person familiar with pythons listen to my motor run if it's not sorted by then.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to get you those pics. Do you still need them?

I definitely know the area you are....I may or many not have jumped off that Long Island bridge a few times as a teenager. We used to launch at that ramp right there. I'd love to go out with you and check out another python if next weekend works out. I'll shoot you a PM with my cell #.
