2007 Ultra rough idle
#21
I would like that Tech Tip too if you don't mine.
Here's what I "think" was going on. The whole time it felt like a vacuum/air leak to me as this is the first thing I would look for on a carb bike. I checked the intake manifolds and the gaskets and found no leak. This is my first EFI bike. I thought the IAC was the problem but when the dealership replaced it and it didn't work, well...so, to the TPS and the engine temp sensor.
So, why the throttle stop screw? If it wasn't mentioned by a couple of people here, I would have never looked at that. But thankfully, we have a lot of people with a lot of years of knowledge in all sorts of areas on this forum.
The throttle plate was open just a crack allowing air in besides the IAC. This was like having a vacuum/air leak. By adjusting the screw back some the plate closed fully. Leak gone. Idle reset and back to normal. At least that is what I am thinking since I have no way to look at the ECM and the values.
BTW, anybody know where I can get a new throttle stop screw? It's not listed in the parts manual (probably because you aren't suppose to mess with it except a "trained" Harley technician...

I haven't driven the bike much and I'm taking my wife to Sturgis, her first time. I do not trust the bike at all. Hate to throw parts at it but I may just buy a new after market throttle body assy. Good luck guys I will look at the screws..but do not understand be loctited in that they would move all of a sudden.....think about it? This happend to a ton of 07 riders with mileage on their bike and it's not an ECM related issue
Email me with any thought...If I come up with something I'll repost
