Deuce low speed/throttle off problems
Hi. New to this forum, and having a problem.
Deuce, 1550 with ported tops and S&S-easystart. CV-carburetor with conversion kit (richer fuel). 2001 mod. Low mileage.
Norway.
Hi. I am having a (maybe) kind of problem, or perhaps it's normal behavior for all I know.
The bike runs very well at load. Loves high speed and hits easily 160 km/h.
But it HATES low speed. It hates when I release the throttle to use the engine breaks. In lack of the correct word; it's feels very rough and runds very hard and unsmooth. Not hunting, or stalling, bot more like misfire and lags backward and forwards (I don't know the describing word).
Had a job done in the carburetor to enrichen the fuel. And the HD mechanics who did the job said it runs very good. Better than average.
But I can't rest my head. I feel it is TOO rough. And I mean it misfire when light load and low throttle. I thought that even a Harley should run well not only when hard throttle is given.
But what do I know? I dont't.
Is this normal bahaviour? Ny mechanics says so. And the is well known for being a excellent HD mechanics.
What to do? Or not to do?

Replace all the aftermarket parts (conversion kit) in the CV with OEM parts and re-tune the carb. I have learned that the CV carb is easier to tune and will deliver more power with OEM parts; have proven it on the dyno.

The primary Chain is checked. Belt checked. All ok.
I believe myself that this is ignition related. Maybe I should install a adjustable ignition system for powerbikes.

Well, I think it's not the carb. The bike was behaving exactly the same when he was OEM. The only diff now is that the bike has more Power.
