Smile ADVICES I RECIEVED ON HERE about my EVO Problem

With all the experienced Rider's on here, I really think someone would have addressed my rpm problem in my prior posted better than it was handled. bagga u were bond and determined it had a broken valve spring. Wrong.

Had operation on knee and been laid up for quite awhile. Finally got to look at 85 Electra Glide yesterday and found problem. It has an Crane Single fire race ignition on it and the rev limiter adjustment has a scorched area on it. Thats the problem on the rpm's. The oil gurgling went away. Checking today into getting a new one or another brand for it. WAS not impressed with the Advices I got on here about the RPM problem.

I know I didn't post it as a rpm problem, but it was also a (major part of my problems) in my post. Might should of made new post for rpm problem.

You didn't succeed very well.

It is always best to start a new thread for each question.

Wow. Haven't had a post like this in the EVO section for a long, long time.

There are other HD forums to get help, but, this one has NEVER let me down.

He is not trolling IMO.
He is just pissed because no one was able to answer a question he had.

I for one am glad he posted about what his problem was and what fixed it because I have had an RPM problem for a while and this gives me an idea where to look next.

He is trolling because he has cross posted this, he has at least two threads with his drivel on them.

I'm glad he was pissed enough to put it in two places because I didn't see the other.
