103 and cams
Not to be a buzz kill or anything but.......hot start problems for this set up is a tuning issue. Compression releases work but don't go to the heart of the matter. My bike? 09 FLHTCU, 103" stage II w/ SE255 cams V&H Power Duals ect. My tuner addressed this issue for me last year. Very hot in Ohio last year and I had no issues at all after he tweeked the starting fuel using my Pro Tuner. Data logging is an AWESOME thing folks. Ya just gotta know what your doin'.

I don't agree with this, my 103 with 259 cams was "broken in" while it was dyno tuned. Dyno numbers 111.24 hp and 116.94 tq. My builder feels the 259 is a better cam than the 255 but to each is it's own.

If they haven't done the work yet I would get the compression releases installed now. I had manual compression releases installed in my stage II 103 (flat top pistons, 255 cams) and re-starting on hot days without releases will kick back.
Love my combo, makes great torque and good horsepower and all at lower r's.

Edit: After finishing the thread I see you went with the ACR, good call.

thanks, and no, I'd say it would be a little more involved and a little more expensive to replace, but once they're on, you forget you even have them. I was told I didn't really need any at all, but with everything in pieces anyways, I figured no point torturing the starter every time and doing whatever other damage to the motor.
