Default Round 2 with dyno tuner

If everyone remembers my post from yesterday. I went to pick up the bike and it was hard to start cold. And running very rich. Well the dyno tuner says he was on the phone with Harley. And they instructed him to change some thing. Because of the richness. Well I will go there and see it it starts right up on a cold start. I guess I am angry because I consider myself to be damm good with a wrench. I have been a pipefitter welder for 30 years. But when it comes to computers I am totally in the dark and lost. I will keep everyone updated. Bob.

Just make sure you don't give that Dyno Tuner a penny more.

No they are a reputable shop. I have another buddy that they did his engine work and tuning and he has not had any problems. That's why I'm surprised Bob is. I will be taking my bike there soon also.

Cheyenne, I took the bike to a Harley stealer. I just pulled the sparkplugs. They are on the black side. I am burning rich. I got a black light soot in the exhaust as well. When a start it cold it spits and then I get a vapor.Out of the air cleaner. I am going to raise hell and get my money back. They have had the bike twice. And still cant get it right. Bob.[:@]
