Hey TCSTD,
y'all ain't so worthless after all. I take it back. On the way back from Flag yesterday my Dyna started snapping, poping, backfiring, and in general acting up. I stopped to see if anything was obviously wrong but all looked fine and tight. At first I thought, "Bad gas" but then "No, it's not pinging or knocking." Then I thought back to this here forum and said to myself, "Self, this here scoot is running lean." Soon as I said that, it started running okay again. Later, as I approched home it started doing it again, "POP, b-blam, b-blam." Then I remembered somebody on the forum stating that even with a remap, H-D sets the EFI to run borderline lean and any small air leak could cause such a prob. So I ran upstairs and did a search on "air leaks." Well guess what? Up pops your "Finding Intake Leaks" article. I found the leak, fixed it, changed the plugs, and it runs like a top. Thanx, to all of you who post problems, solutions, and helpful hints. And especially TC for his DYI forums.[sm=hail.gif]

Hey Trip
I'm glad you found the DIY forum useless........UH.. usefull
Sometimes you run into a problem and all you need is to have the thinking cap on and you go right to the area. Glad it worked out for you and you're back on the road again. Have you checked out the latest in the DIY forums? I think it's gonna get Mac into trouble

RE: Hey TCSTD,
Don't know about you but I think we're drastically underpaid for the outstanding job we do here
Least we should get is a T shirt with the logo on it so I can dress in style when I'm at the computer

RE: Hey TCSTD,
Good idea TC, my Firefox T shirt is getting a bit worn out now. How about a dark blue T with the logo:
on the back it would say, "I moderated HDForums and all I got was this blankety-blank T-shirt."
