I need to remove my throttle cable form the lower switch housing, but can't figure out how to. The end of the cable has what appears to be a soldered ball to keep it rom goign through the housing. My book says to "unscrew each cable and remove it form the lower switch housing." Is the bushing that the cable goes through, that goes through the hole in the housing 2 pieces that screw together? I can't find anything that is threaded to unscrew from or anything that unscrews. Help please. 2002 1200 by the way.

Thundermaxx is probably the "bomb" but looking for better performance not the max hp. (no pun intended)

I already had a stage I download on the bike from Harley. The bike seems to be running good on the stage I download. In yall's opinion do I need to do the stage II on it, or any advice on how to tell. I dont really want to get into a tuner, not building a race bike. THanks for opinions, even if they are not what I want to hear.

This has happened to me a couple of times, so I thought that it pertinent to share my findings.

If this happens to you, the bike fires up fine you get her out of the driveway and crack the throttle and you get a third of the power you normaly get, then you just might have a torn vaccuum diaphram.

Lift the tank up, take off the top of the carburetor and pull out the diaphram assembly , check around the lip of the diaphram, there you will probably find a small tear or hole.

Modern gasoline aditives play havoc on the rubber diaphram, she will go south sooner or later so be aware of the symtoms descibed above.

The part is aprox $50 out the door and can be changed out in less than 30 minutes.

Be super careful when you put it back in that it's not pinched when you put the top back on.

I have looked into the Harley race tuner, Power commander with auto tune and the Vance & Hines fuel pack. The power commander, race tuner & fuel pack in my opinion all have cons to them. I am very impressed with the thundermax unit. I like how the unit is all its own and you replace the HD stuff. I have seen all the videos on Youtube. This system looks to be very user friendly and upgradeable as the mods keep coming. This winter I am adding Vance & Hines Big shots, Harley stage 1 air cleaner and quite possibly the thundermax unit. Future upgrades include stage 3 103cu in. upgrade. My ultimate goal is to make enough power to break the rear tire loose on demand. I plan on doing as much of the work as possible. I am a freak about someone other than me working on my stuff. As for the Thundermax how good are the built in diagnostics? This system sounds like its going to be the last EFI unit I will need to buy. I am right about this assumtion? Thanks

ive been searching the forum and not finding to much on breathers. all i really found was problems and stuff on the HD SE breather.
Im just wondering what people prefer for a breather setup because this is one of my many projects coming up. Im mostly trying to decide wether or not i want a breather that vents directs to the air. or one of the many nice setups were the air cleaner bracket has alleys in it which vent into the intake therefor eleminating any breather lines ]]> Fuel Systems Ohutchins http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/12896-breather.html http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/12815-wont-stay-running.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:22:24 GMT I just came back from a month long trip.

I jumped on the bike the other day, it took a couple times to start but did eventually go though. I let the bike run for a little bit.

I went out for a little ride. I noticed that when i was sitting idle the bike would start to die. If i didnt keep feeding the engine gas the bike would start to die.

Got home and let the bike sit. Came back a little later. The engine popped and white smoke came out the air intake. I removed it to see inside, and there were a bunch of burns on the inside of the case.

At first the bike would at least run for a little while when i started it then it would die, when i didnt feed the engine, now it will start up and pretty much die instantly.

Here is a video of the bike when it would at least run for a little bit.
