Default V.O.E.S

Hi guys. I haven't been on here in a long time. I had to reregister because my email has changed lolo. Either way, I have a 1997 Wide Glide. Here's the situation. My motor is an 87 ci, it has an Andrews 27 cam in it, 9.7:1 compression, ported and polished heads, vance and hines straight shots, jetted CV carb, Dynatek 2000i ignition module and always ran perfect!!!!!! I decided to eliminate the voes as it says you can run without it when I was replacing my rocker boxes due to peeling chrome. Since reassembly, timing perfect, 150 psi per cylinder, I cannot get this to run for the life of me! Cranks and backfires in the exhaust. Rechecked everything, tdc compression both cylinders one at a time and adjusted the pushrods where they should be etc. I am thinking I need the VOES back, but thankfully my dumb *** tossed it. Trying to find info about this is confusing at best. The part number I need is this. 26569-96 Is there any info y'all have about an aftermarket one that would work? Thanks guys. Appreciate the help before hand. Bob

Sounds like a massive air leak. Did you plug the vacuum line to the VOES?

Air leak like mentioned above. Plug the vacuum line and check your mainfold for leaks.

You can ground the purple wire coming of you ignition module (it's the voes wire) to see if it starts better.. If it doesn't, you didn't reassembly something else properly.
