Carb to Injected?
Hey Guys,
I've got a 2k RK Police with an 88ci carb. Bought used from a HD dealership. After some talking with the guys back in the service dept, turns out that this bike came injected. But the previous owner put a carb on it (along with all kinds of aftermarket coil, ignition, etc). What I was wondering (without asking HD yet), how difficult would it be to turn it back to stock injection?
Granted, I'm going to try and find the previous owner to see if he's still got the parts in a box in the garage...But had the bike for a less than a year, keeps idle problems they can't find, bike is Extremely cold natured, and a few more. Would just like to get it back to stock.
Thanks Guys

To bad you can't get it running good. My carb runs fantastic. I don't know which carb you have on it, but my jetted stock CV runs beautiful on my 88" up to over 12k feet. May you need to find a old timey Harley Indy who knows his carbs.
I'm not sure if the 2000 has the MM injection. But if if did I understand it is inferior to the current Delphi set up.
Sure I have to use my enricher **** for warm up. But with carbs gone forever on new bikes I'm hanging onto mine.
Oh yeah potato potato potato
Good luck finding a solution.

I wouldn't bother looking for the original MM fuel injection parts. It maybe best/cheapest to get the carburetor sorted out. Or spend some $, I have a '00 and I'm in the process of changing mine to a S&S single bore fuel injection.

X2 The MM system was ok (I'm runnint it on my RK), but it is pretty primitive and there is next to no support for it. Since it has been carbed it would be best/cheapest to to get it tuned right or get a Mikuni for it. If ya are dead set on FI the newer delphi system is the way to go.

I'd get the carburetor problem sorted out, which should be an easy task. I'm sure there's allot of fuel injection bikes that are still running good from that era, but imo you can't beat a carbed motor for ease of operation and reliability. Plus simplistic to work on
