I too have the PC III, my bike starts just fine, however, I don't wait to hit the start button, I just turn the bike on and hit the button, starts right up. as for the off idle miss, I read someone on here tried the accelerator pump feature and cleared it right up. maybe they will chime in on what they did.

Yeah, if you wait for the lights to cycle, it will turn a couple times before firing. If you hit it right away it seems to fire right up.

I have an FLHX w/ true duals and the PCIII. I have the same thing happening to mine as well. When I wait for the fuel pump buzz to stop the stater will cycle a time or two before firing up. Is it ok to hit the starter before the fuel pump is finsished??? The dealer said to wait but I have heard that it isnot gonna hurt the bike!

STOUT, according to what i've read on Harley's site,( don't recall where i found it )there is no need to wait. ( I could've read it wrong to. )Just turn her on and hit the button. That's what I do, hasn't hurt anything yet.
