I took off the tank to run some wires from the batt. while I was at it I cleaned up the carb. reinstalled everything but now the carb is bone dry, petcock is ON still nothing.
My question does the thing need to be primed? There is a vac line to the petcock.

I'd like to know YOUR opinions regarding buying a Carbed Bike, or a Fuel Injected?
I'm sitting on the "edge of decision", liking both bikes, but...I'm not that informed about injection, nor..."do I mess with anything, until I absolutely know what I'm doing"!
I've always had carbed bikes-but, others say fuel injection is way to go.
Another factor: the one bike I'm interested in, is a Softtail Heritage (2000) w/carb. Reasonable parts prices and availability is a concern down the road; because it looks like an end of an "era is at hand (carbed)".
The other is a RK (2006) w/Fuel Injection.
Thanks for your thoughts folks. ]]> Fuel Systems PH Hog http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/23585-carb-efi-question.html http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/23558-electrical-gremlin-clutch-pcv-w-autotune-install-not-pcv-issue-my-opinion.html Wed, 01 Sep 2010 01:25:58 GMT I ride a 2009 Nightrain and just replaced my stock exhaust with V&H Big Radius 2-1, SE Heavybreather and a PC V w/Autotune. After everything was hooked up I tried to start the bike and had no power to the starter. Everything else electrical worked and I could hear the fuel pump energizing, but nothing from the starter. It was completely dead (no clicking or anything) but the battery was fine. The pipes and breather were self explanatory to bolt on; my initial concern with the job (from my lack of EFI experience) was on the electrical side. The PCV itself is extremely easy to install. The Autotuner O2 sensors are a little more difficult only because you have to get creative routing the wires from the pipes to the unit under your seat. Let me say first that I bought my PCV from Fuel Moto and they’ve been great. I called 3-4 times with technical questions and they were always professional and very helpful.

I disconnected/checked/reconnected everything I had done; checked to make sure I hadn’t knocked one of the connections loose on the starter itself; replaced both the starter fuse and the starter relay, and basically cursed and slumped my shoulders in shame for a couple of days.

I did a lot of reading on hdforums and Harley-davidsonforums and found tons of helpful lessons-learned and tips; thank you all. After two days of troubleshooting and swapping out fuses and relays I remembered a non-PCV-related post about someone having to hold in the clutch to start the bike after disconnecting the battery and replacing parts. Well I tried it and for some reason it worked! It only took one attempt with the clutch engaged; subsequent attempts with the new and old relays/fuses were successful without using the clutch (yes I was always in Neutral).

I’ve put about 100 miles on the bike with the new configuration and have had no problems. Fuel-Moto’s map program for my exhaust configuration is working great. I noticed an immediate increase in low-RPM torque and the throttle response is much crisper. Of course, the fuel economy is taking a hit but it really is a noticeable increase in performance over stock. I’m going to try loading a new map from the Autotune this weekend. I’ve got to look over the values, but it looks like it will be slightly leaner in a couple of power bands, not all though.

I hope this helps another amateur mechanic out there. I had a blast doing the work myself.

It has started running rough, like out of fuel, then runs smooth, then rough again, spits, idle's up high on its own then down again, etc. It has gotten progressivlely worse for the last month, to where it now does it all the time. I have been searchin for answers, Its a modified 103 engine, been built for 3 years w/o problems. I disconected an bypassed the power comander and it still does same thing. I've listened in the fuel tank for spiting sounds but fuel builds an holds pressure, also filling tank does not stop problem, plugs are sparking nice. Has a lot of black on plugs etc from running rich only. Ive checked over all my wiring and have not found anything wrong. Now thinking off inspecting all the sensors attached to the fuel injection? Looking for answers if anyone has an ideas I should check sure appreciate it. ]]> Fuel Systems hrlyclassic2 http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/23552-fuel-injected-bike-running-real-rough.html http://www.Harley-Davidsonforums.com/forums/fuel-systems/23485-carb-question.html Sun, 29 Aug 2010 23:46:36 GMT Lately when I'm riding I get this delayed effect when I crack my throttle. bike is a 97 1200 sporty C/S slip-on mufflers, S/E air box,

Have had an intermittent problem for a while seems to be getting worse. When I turn the bike on fuel pump light comes on then goes out as supposed to, then might come back on again then go out again. Starts fine. Lately light started coming on while riding, would go out after short time.I had a power commander on the bike but took this off thinking it could be the problem. Now bike will die while riding, or sometimes won't take any throttle(fall on its face if I am riding say 55 and try to give it throttle. Has also over rev'd a couple times while sitting at a light. when it has died pump light was not on sometimes and was on sometimes. Is hard to start when this happens, smells like too much fuel. but after sitting for 2 - 5 minutes will start. Did it today and after I got it started rode another 50 miles no problem.

Need some info about the " Y's " when ordering a S&S Super "E" Carb.

I have to give the year and model so the right S&S "E" carb is given to me.

I have a 1985 Classic EVO 1340cc.

So if I tell the dealer I have a 1986 Evo would it make a BIG DIFFENCE ?

please explain to this NEWBIE just why I have to give this info to the dealer.

Why not me just saying: . . . " hey I need a S&S "E" carb for a 1985 H-D ?

Do they make specific model S&S carb for all different H-D years ?

I noticed it after the bike kept cutting off after startup. Then cranked and run a few seconds only with full choke.

I have cleaned and treated the tank with the "KREAM" 3 step kit. It turned out very nicely.

As far as the carb goes, I have not completely removed it. removed the bowel, long jet, and short jet beside it. I cleaned and soaked them all in carb cleaner. Next, I sprayed cleaner all up around the float and carb then reassembled.

I tried to crank the bike but it did not fire. I removed the bowl from the bottom of the carb again and noticed it was bone DRY. No fuel is reaching the bowl.

I have checked and removed the line from the tank into the carb inlet If I open to reserve or on, fuel comes out. I put the line back on the carb but left the bowl off and tried to crank it to see if anything come out. (I didnt know if it needed suction to pull the fuel down or not). Still nothing.

The inlet to the carb seems to be closed or stopped up.

Should the fuel automaticly fill the bowl when I turn the gas on at the tank. Or does it pull the fuel down when the engine creates compression.
