Default Please help

I have a 2013 Polaris sportsman 800, I have had a ton of trouble with the tps sensor adjusting it. So I bought a used Throttle body from a salvage yard from a 2008 . What should I adjust the base volts too? I have tried 0.58 and 0,660 and 0.69
Any help would be appreciated at this point I am at the end of my rope.
thanks to all

If you have the manual for your model,you need the tps harness kit PU-47082 and the regulator for it. Many manuals give this warning.

Throttle Position Sensor Adjustment
IMPORTANT: The correct position of the thottle body
valve angle is established and set at the factory. If the
TPS was repositioned, replaced or loosened, it must
be recalibrated. Do not adjust the throttle body stop
screw. If the throttle body stop screw is adjusted, the
entire assembly must be replaced.
1. Very the throttle body is closed. Loosen the throttle cable
if required.
2. Verify TPS Tester PU-47082 and test leads are still
connected the TPS.
3. Loosen the mounting screw (B) holding the TPS to the
throttle body.
4. Rotate the TPS until the meter reads .710±.010 Vdc.

Older models had a base setting of .528 vdc on the tps,that is with the throttle stop loosened until it's not touching,throttle cable loose,no pressure on the throttle body wheel.Then turn the throttle stop screw until you reached 710 vdc.This might be your best bet on adjustment. If it doesn't help,then I'd let a dealer adjust it.

Nope NO Go, I would have no trouble bringing it too the dealer if it wasnt 4 hours away. But I guess I have no choice . Lol..I still have the original one with the D screw loosened ...should I do the sticky thread and try it? any suggestions on that or tips would be cool too?
And Again thank you

Try the original throttle body and try the .528 base tps setting. Adjust the "D" shaped adjuster to the final 710 vdc setting.If that doesn't work,then sounds like a drive to the dealer.
