Default Fuelpak frustration
Got my Short shots on, sound bitchin'. Got my Ness big sucker on, also looks bitchin'. Sounds awesome, except for the slight Ping I think I'm hearing. I guess I shouldn't ride it till i get that taken care of. (I hope it's not all in my head).

So I install the fuelpak and follow the directions to a T! and the dang thing won't turn on. I double, and triple checked the connections, went back over the instructions countless times, and nothing. Oh well. I guess I got a faulty module.

Just venting, hopefully it'll be a quick shipment fix and I get a working one.

Yea, I've heard and read a lot of good things about them. Just stinks cause they aren't open saturdays.

I had originally bought the FP but got rid of it once the dyno guy told me that it was doing nothing for my motor. Try turning the "run" switch...they dont turn on unless the fuel pump is turned on.

It's on, and programmed, but now it's too rich. I can see it burning fuel if I get on it really hard. What exactly do you mean not doing anything for the motor. It clearly adjusted the air/fuel ratio. Isn't that the point of it?

Never mind on the running rich. I read that it may do that the first few minutes. I guess we'l see.

You get the lastest programing for you set up from their web site. The one that comes with the kit isn't always the latest..
