Zippers has good products, probaly a good mod if keeping EFI and feeding some pony's. Don't they cross the Delphi injectors into that system?

Yes bagger they cross Delphi injectors. I'm an EFI guy since I've picked up how they work. I local shop has a FX EVO getting ready to Dyno with a Zipper, S&S big mouth and a wild S&S cam. It's going to be wicked. I'll let you know the numbers when I get'em.

By the way, I did have an ez clutch put in and although it has nothing to do with the engine, it is worth its weight in gold... To add to the sayings "This bike is running finer than a frogs hair." Ever see a frogs hair? Pretty fine aren't they.. Thanks again guys for all your help.

Good to hear that. Keep that dealers number in your phone book.

OK, Latest and greatest on this bike. Rode it home from Harley last week, ran great. Rode it yesterday, ran great. Rode it today, ran like garbage again. I ordered the new ECM and software from Harley today, part # 41000012A $480 bucks. Got a 10% discount, thanks Harley for honoring Military guys. Parts will be here in a week. Not riding till then. Will install and we keep everyone posted.
Thanks again folks....... P.S. Still love my Harley, I think.

Hey shovelhead
I installed the new ecm. I rode the bike yesterday and it seems to be running better than ever. No code pick and setting the tps and idle was easy. I do however, get a quick engine light that goes away if I decerlerate hard. The exhaust smell is virtually gone. I was riding with a 2010 ultra and had no problem keeping up. I haven't had the opportunity to go for a long ride. I'll keep you posted. thanks for the help.

Good news. I thought your previous syptoms were from a bad ECM. Which MAP did you use? Harley Stage I? Also do you have a good flowing air cleaner and slip ons?

Happy people you in United States. Our local dealer in Latvia asks 1200 $ (708 LVL) for that part (41000012A). HD dealer and S&S policy prevents it from overseas shipping..

Since the bike was available from the factory as both FI or carb:
I spent the time to find all the factory parts to do the conversion. Converting the FI tank to carb is a pain and non reversible so I just got a carb tank. So far, with some good scrounging skills and a paint job of the new tank, I'm at just under $600. To me, way better than keeping the FI. I can fix the carb in the field.

You also might want to make sure the temp sensor thingie is working properly, as if that goes out, even a new ECU is not going to help you much.
