alright iv been thinking about doing it, taking the efi off the dyna and putting a carb on..whos done this?

 

Why, the consistency of fuel injection is great, no choke. Fires right up. Sure it is harder to fix, unless you have the book and a way to read the codes and data. Then it is just as easy as a carb. You also gain HP and tq with FI.

 

Haven't done it and probably wouldn't. Waste of money to me. I think it would be cheaper to just buy a carbed bike than waste my time converting. Just my opinion --you bike--your money. I have a carbed wideglide and a fi heritage. Like them as the way they are.

 

Going from EFI to Carb on a TC engine is not difficult at all, and I know many guys that have gone that route.

Check out the below link for detail information;

I currently own 7 Harley's, 2 of them are EFI and the rest are Carb'd.

When it comes to increasing horsepower and torque, and the ease of working on an engine, I prefer a Carb'd bike any day of the week....

 

Great link by the way!

 

Guess my question to you is WHY? There is nothing to gain other than an easier rebuild...and this from someone who only owns carb bikes...

Think you should change? Here is a suggestion. Take your FI bike through Rocky Mountain National Park. Then borrow someone's (rent, whatever) carb only bike and see what happens to your performance. Night and day difference. You will never ever think twice about it again.

 

Another good point of EFI.

 

Rode my carbed FXDL from San Antonio to Salida and then Denver CO...did Wolf Creek Pass...Estes Park and Mount Evans....did not have one bit of trouble.

 

Same here......Up to 16,000 feet on my carbed FL and noticed no difference. I could understand altitude problems on an old Linkert or Bendix, but on newer carbs, CV stands for "Constant Velocity". EFI experts. Bah.

That being said, wouldn't changing back to carb would involve changing the gas tank? I thought the gas valve area for the petcock is different from an EFI tank (?).

 

My carbed bike has been to over 10,000 feet and never missed a beat.
