Hot and Muggy.. 883 running like shit
 
Is this just a coincidence? bad tank of gas?

been running 'off' for 2 days now.. i had filled up at a diff station that normal and it ran like shit for a day so i ran it empty and filled up where i normally go and though better, a bit off still - around the same time its been 30+ degrees and humid, could this be why?

Engines like cool dry air going into the intake...so ambient temps and humidity will make some difference, but it should not be extremely radical.

If the engine is getting too hot, that will make it run like a dog.

A bad tank of gas can make a big difference also. Even though you ran it dry, if you're carbed it may have gummed some things up a bit.

alright thanks

ya, it's just running a bit rough - i'll grab some seafoam and give er a shot

i really need that 587 AC kit - black cyclone.. it boggles the mind that the stock ham can literally has ZERO flow into the air filter.. still saving my pennies though

cheers

seafoam wont hurt , but have to laugh at the ham can has zero airflow.
wonder how they even run with no air
