Hi, apologies if everyone knows this and it's only me who doesn't. Winter rebuild is going well, new cooling, painted front chassis and suspension, etc. But, when starting from cold it runs well until you touch the throttle, then instead of revving it dies away. If you disconnect the throttle sensor it runs much better?? The throttle sensor is new, and it has been rewired with a new gold connector.

Out of interest I brought a new gold connetor this time, and the wiring is reversed (far left and right wires swapped), but if you wire it like the new connector it will not run at all.

My guess would be throttle pot is the wrong spec or wrongly wired in. Would be worth checking the resistance is correct at idle, and varies correctly as you open the throttle.
