I have a 2008 softail deluxe 96ci .I installed the screamin eagle aircleaner with the K&N cleaner. Put on Vance & Hines duals and the vance & hines fuelpak with the setting FP-0676. The problem is its hard to start . It takes about 10 times to get it started. Once its started it runs like it should. When i stop it and try to start it its the same hard to start.Is anyone else running the same setup?

 

put a 2 in position 17 and let me know how that works for you.

 

V&H was real helpful with my setup when I called them on the phone. I still have a decel burble and somtimes a lod pop or maybe a backfire. I put about 500 miles a week on my bike so I'm going to try a 50 at the 23 value and see what happens. I drive to work everyday when its nice. My bike get 44.5 MPG. How do you find out whatnumber to put where ? Be safe.

Thanks NightTrain08. I put a 2 in mode 17 it started like it should but seemed to rich so i put a 1 in mode 17 and that seems to be right. Like how it started back whenstock thanks again Stay safe everyone.

 

Hey Jackspilot i get a little gurgle and pop sometimes. Maybe ill try putting the 50 in mode 23 also thanks for the ideas. Stay safe also.

 

Well now im having similar problems. In mode 17 i put it back on 2 because setting 1 didnt work good enough.Heres the problem nowon a cold start it starts good with 2 on mode 17. But if i run it around town and come back home and turn it off and try to restart it it wont start. Someone please help.

 

Its hard to tell from your picture, but I think you have VH big shot staggard longs? Duals usually exit on each side of the bike. If thats the case you need the map for big shot staggard longs.

I also modified mode 17 and 23. I have mode 17 set to 3 and mode 23 set to 50. Adding to mode 17 helped with hot starting. Setting mode 23 to 50 helped with decel issues.

 

The one pictured is a different bike.

 

I have V & H True duals, K&N Breather and a fuel pac.

I set everything as per instructions. It started and ran great with the occasional decel pop. I change mode 23 to 15 and it was about the same. I tried 50 and it had constant popping. I immediately put it back to the suggested setting, 16 I think, and I will live with the occasional pop.

 

I tried a few things with mine. I don't have a problem with starting, but decel pops I did have an issue. I tried in 23, 15, 16 and 50. I called V&H and they couldn't figure it out. I put my baffels back in and then re-cal'd it. I noticed that I had one pipe (the left) popping more then the right, so I bought a new socket and tightened it down. I again played with 23 and re-cal'd and most of it went away.

If your popping make sure your bolts are tight and you have good gaskets, then re-cal it. V&H told me that backfiring and some decel pops were from the throttle not being calibrated. They said you should count to 2 (1000-1, 1000-2,) with the first count it should be open and the second should be closed.
