VOES Woes??
Hello all, I'm new here and would like to ask a question.
I bought a preowned 99 FXST with the 80" EVO and have just recently been having problems with it dying on me. First start in the morning runs great drive it around no problem - stop for a while then it won't start and acts like its out of gas. More recently died on me while driving and I killed the battery trying to get it to fire.
I am looking for more information on what the VOES does and if it going bad could be my problem?
I also just found that the previous owner had put a Crane Cams HI-4 Single Fire race ignition module in it, which is wired to the VOES, anyone have any experience with this?
The bike just acts like it runs out of gas because when I pull the plugs they are not fouled and they look like they are firing.
Sorry if this post is long but any help would be greatly appreciated.

RE: VOES Woes??
All the VOES does is tell the ignition to select a less agressive advance curve because the throttle is open wide. Next time it quits, check for a fuel flow problem. If gas is flowing all the way into the floatbowl, there is a good chance that your ignition module or the ignition pickup module (in the side cone where they used to put the points) is failing when it gets hot. Also, check the pickup gap, if it is off it will do that.
