Engine Trouble

OK, anyone have any ideas? Here are the symptoms;

06 1200C with Screaming Eagle Airfilter and Python II slip on's.

Carburetor sputtering or hiccups. Occasional check engine light, that comes and goes. Engine runs rough, then goes away. No power loss.

I'd appreciate any help!

Read the engine code using the speedometer. That will give you a much better idea.

RE: Engine Trouble

Since the last time you ran the bike with no engine problems... What changes, if any have your done? Pipes, aircleaner etc. Also look for loose plug wires at the ignition coil... they can become loose while cleaning and polishing the bike and cause mis-fire problems. Had that to happen to me once

Plug wires are secure.

The Diagnostic code is P0106 whic relates to MAP Sensor Rate of Range Error Carb.

Any help??

RE: Engine Trouble

That code was probably triggered from the carb back spitting freaking the MAP sensor out...Or the MAP is the problem creating a run-lean condition causing the back spit. You could replace the Manifold pressure sensor and then see what happens. Strange to have a MAP sensor on a carburator?
