Default Ticking fuel ejectors

Howdy y'all,


I've been chasing a annoying ticking noise on my 11 streetglide 96 tc . I've adjusted my push rods several times and double checked them. It has new woods directional lifters and I've even added rocker lockers trying to eliminate the ticking. The ticking shows up at 1800-2800 rpms . I do understand that Harley engines tick due to their nature but this is a loud tick that has started showing up. I have rinehart pipes and a amped sound system and I can distinctively hear it over both of them . I put it up on the left and fired it up and probed around with my stethoscope and listed to every inch of the engine and tranny . My rocker boxed sound smooth and quit and so does my primary . I finally found the noise . The ticking is coming from my injectors. I can hear the solenoids ticking and tapping on my intake .
Has anyone ever experienced this ? I've searched the forums but can't find anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
