Does anyone have any experience with the Screaming Eagle Ignition Programmer? This is a kit that is no longer offered in the cataloge and is used for the carb models. I have a carbed 05 with a 95", 204SE camand SE ign module that is pinging so bad I can hardly ride it.....
check your valves ie pushrods, fuel should be highgrade carberation for breathing mukuni hsr 42 min, ignition module mabee how long ago did you do the 95 kit
I always use name brand 93 octane fuel. The carburation is spot on. Just tug the choke to start-after a minute, push it in. As far as the age of the build, not sure. I bought the bike second hand. The original owner spent a lot of money on this bike, but is not very mechanically inclined himself. The bike is an 05 so it can't be too old....I have noticed that since I have moved back to Houston from Chicago, the ping is not as bad.....Not what I would have expected since it is so friggin hot here....
sounds likepre ignition detionation , did you have this problem when you bought the bike, or has this just started might be as simple as rejetting , what type of carb are you running
Had it since day one. The bike had been shipped from California and the gas was a bit old. Fresh gas improved the situation, but only a little bit. The bike apprears to have the original CV carb. It has been massaged, but not sure to what extent.
you have the same motor as i do except i am running gear drive andrews 60 high lift cam detionation gaskets se ignition adjustable pushrods vance hinds hsr comp pipe ported and polished heads with andrews roller rockers and mukuni 45 about 127 ft lbs of tourque.........if you change your kienen carb and re jet for your area hold onto your socks sounds to me the motor is starving for fuel another idea is to change petcock to highflow wow big dollars on ebay
I'll pull the carb tomorrow and see what is in it. Sooner or later I need to get into this motor if only to see what is actually in it! I've just been lazy...
