Hi folks.
so I'm converting over from MM EFI to carb.
Current:
2001 Ultra , 95ci kit , SE heads, SE 257 cams , SE cam plate & hydrolic tensioners, HV oil pump.
Rienhart 4" 2 into 1 exhaust.
I obtained a complete wiring harness, and ECM off a friend
I assume this would make this pretty much a plug & play with electrical.
I have the manifold, carb, choke cable and upper Mount with choke bracket.
Question is I don't think his old bike had cruise. Is there a way I can salvage my cruise or will I lose it converting over with the ECM and harness?

If the carburetor has the throttle cable bracket that accepts the cruise cable you should be fine. It looks like an extra cable groove with a nub the cable clips to. Be careful disconnecting it from the old intake as the plastic may be a little brittle by now.
The cruise module is not run through the ECM on that bike. Above you say you got a wiring harness and an ECM from a friend. The only thing that makes sense is that you got an ignition wiring harness and an Ignition Module from a friend.
If you don't have the carbureted ignition harness, you can get it from NAMZ.

What is wrong with your EFI?
No I got a wiring harness and actual ecm from a carbureted 01 Electra glide
I also have the spark plug box, coil
Right now efi is ok. But I'm planning on more mods and I prefer carb over efi.
MM is great when it works but I hear horror stories when it doesn't
Eds point with the ECM is that only EFI bikes have ECMs whereas carb bikes have Ignition Modules.
So then it must be that
So what I got was a full harness.
Ignition coil
Top engine mount
Choke cable
Manifold
CV Carburator
And a small rectangle box with two female pin plugs ...he said it's the computer
Part # on that box will allow you to confirm or deny that it`s an ignition module for a carb bike.
( I mentioned in your other thread that that your proposed engine modifications "may" require a programmable ignition to alter the spark advance curves / Daytona Twin Tec is one such unit )

I'll check that #
I think those mods might have to wait.
The heads I got don't seem to be compatible with a 98 or bigger build
There's a lot of research I need to do.
