Technical Throttle Body

[goneleft]

Right...I have been having some trouble with my cinq. I've written a couple of threads about it and tried replacing numerous parts etc.
It seems to be under powered especially on long inclines and when accerlerating. When up to speed its ok but as soon as i hit another hill it slows right down.
So far i have:
Checked sparks
Changed plugs
Changed HT leads
Checked Timing
Swapped MAP, Throttle position sensors. And the idle stepper motor.
Before i go out and buy a compression tester I just wanted to check that I do actually have everything on the throttle body where it should be.
So heres a photo.
The one below is of the charcoal cannister...can anyone tell me if the module is the right way up with the pipe leading to the TB coming out the bottom then heading up or is is on upside down?
Cheers All.

This is an 899 that is at least 10 years old, is it performing worse than before?

Remember that increased air temperatures will reduce power and temperatures are certainly hotter than recently.

Sorry, i should have said. Its a 1997 899cc.
It was fine, its only done 45k. Then after doing nearly 700 miles in a weekend. I pulled into a lay by to make a phone call and when i restarted the car, it didnt feel like it used too...and hasn't since.

Time for a compression test methinks.
