Angry Fuelpak Adjustment question

All, I have a question and issue with my 06 Ultra and the recent Fuelpak......It appears that I have a "dead spot" with the throttle. If I am Slowing down (zero throttle) and go to twist on the throttle it appears that the throttle advances somewhat but there is no increase in engine RPM but then all of a sudden Bam I go! This wasn,t an issue before the addition of the Fuelpak......I have performed the Throttle adjust per the instructions...should I try doing this again? any ideas? Thanks in advance..........Marty.

You should call V&H Tech Support.

That's the biggest problem with the Fuelpak...have to call tech support for every adjustment you want to make. Had one on my Night Train and it was a pain.

Go back through the process and set everthing up again and pay really close attenntion to the throttle calibration part of the instructions and do it exactly like they say, more than likely this is where the problem is. Alot of people mess up on this part of the set up with the Fuel Pack on the pre 08 installs. You may have to call V&H like you said.

Good Luck,
Bill Grassi

Sounds like the throttle calibration is off. You can fix that in about 5 minutes.

I never call. I just email them and get a response the next day. I have changed pipes several times, trying to get the sound I want. They have been dead on. I am using SE 255 cams in my 96" and it performs great. Repeat your steps and that should take care of it.
