ok, my Suzuka 8 Hours 2 has a few little quirks that need attention.
it pertains to the brake pot. not registering as a start button or test menu selector, and the other is that the game was bought used, and the JAMMA and secondary harnesses are cannibalized (spliced together, or wires are broken off)
first off, I replaced a brake pot. with one pulled from an extra Suzuka bike I had stored, and it's doing the same thing as the one I took out.
the min. is coming up 00, and the max is only reaching 14 (the other bike's brake max reaches 30). the brake works in-game, but won't register as a button function at all like in the test menu, or if there's a credit on the game, the brake won't start a new game.
now I read about the ADS Initialize in the test menu, but the problem is I can't select that menu option due to what I mentioned above. is there like a way I can short the legs on the pot. to make it reach its max potential or some alternative way of selecting menu options?
I have a 5k pot. that I ordered from Happ a few months back, but it's physically larger than the Suzuka one, so a place to get a true replacement would be much appreciated.

onto the other problem, the player 1 side of the game has the secondary harness (the blue one) all butchered with wires solder-spliced to pins, or the wires are broken off. there's a lot of unpopulated pins, but they don't pop out like JAMMA pins do, so how can I do that? ideally I'd like to do away with the spliced wires, cause the Link function doesn't work on the game anymore, I'd like to just re-solder the wiring onto "new" pins.
and last, anyone got a pinout on the secondary harness? I got the original manual for the game, but the wiring diagram is virtually illegible.
sorry for the long post. thanks.
