need a little bit of help/info if anyone has any ideas, 05 deuce, carburated, 88 tc, vance and hines long shots, stock air filter, ( going to upgrade to a SE heavy breather shortly), sputters and misses when in 1 2 3 gears at low speeds, also misses at idle slightly, drilled plug for idle screw, adjusted 23/4 turns out cause plugs were somewhat lean looking and was poping on decel, no more poping , the guy that had it had SE II slip ons on it and had evidently jetted it when i took the carb apart it had # 45 slow jet and 190 primary jet , one small washer (1/32) under the needle, runs strong high end and pulls hard low end , i run 93 octane ,wondered if andone has ANY ideas on the missing and sputtering ( not through the carb) THANKS

 

05's had a problem with valve seals which allowed oil to foul plugs. Might be something to check into. I think Harley did a recall to fix.

 

will check into that, dont know ... thanks seems like i didnt have this prob before the V&H pipes though

 

dealer said valve seals was a service bulliten but not a recall, additional sypmtoms noticed tonight , missing seams to be only in rear cylendar, small puff of white smoke out rear cylendar exhaust pipe when throtle is cracked.... plugs not fouled gapped at .40 even switched them in the cylendars no help.... any info appreciated.

 

well installed the heavy breather and SE jet kit, put a 48 and 195 combo , ran decent , backed them off to 45 and 185 combo seems sluggish now, replaced plugs, and wires miss gone , ohmed out the wires bad rear wire, any more ideas about the jet setup??? thanks
