#965 SLVRNUGGET (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 13 Re:Good Jetting Questions&Discussion 4 Years, 2 Months ago   Tim, Surprised that you found the leak at the mainfold.... Know you have been going over this whole "cough" issue for quite a while and am hoping that the manifold lead is the culprit.. Keep me posted..... Saw ya did some riding lately on the other forum.. Been helping kids paint the rooms in their new house for last two weekends... Have only been on Nugget twice in two weeks and only to ride to work... Thinking about pickling and putting away for the season... "it" is getting cooler these days....

At least you can now follow the 'standard' procedure and hopefully the dialing in works for you. You may have pinced the O-ring when installing the manifold. I know I had a hell of a time making sure everyting was in place. It's a tight fit.

I like these message boards. Don't know if I cured the cough problem but a leaky manifold doesn't help in making adjustments. "Pickling" My registraion is up the end of the month and there is snow on the mountain and plenty of frost here. That was my last big ride for the season. There was no room for Michelle on that ride, it was speedy. Was hopeing we would get another ride in but our group cannot seem to get it together.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #981 draco (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 92 Re:Good Jetting Questions&Discussion 4 Years, 2 Months ago   I hope dialing in works for me after this. I also hope this air leak has been the problem all along, been real frustrating. I used WD-40 to install and it went in pritty easy so pinching may not be the problem, just a good seal, I have one of the first "hard fitting" manifolds A manifold leak was easy to find in cold weather with all the backfire. I'm going to try "Bucks" WTV high temp sealent and re-install   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #984 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11027 Re:Good Jetting Questions&Discussion 4 Years, 2 Months ago   \"hard fitting\" manifolds I can relate I had to grind down the top of the manifold flange just to fit it in. Once on, mine fit like a glove, no leaks at all. I did make sure to evenly tighten all the bolts.

Going to try it out today and hope it has cured (low temperature outside) and not much time to ride.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1772 MikeS (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 15 Re:Good Jetting Questions&Discussion 3 Years, 10 Months ago   One thing I noticed not rcognized by anyone is ignition timing. Too much advance or retarting ignition timing will cause backfiring thru the carb or backfiring out the tailpipe. Can the electronic ignition timing be changed? I believe the factory has set the timing to satisfy the smog demons by leaning the engine and advancing the timing so much that rejeting and adding free flow exhaust has caused some bikes the pop thru the air cleaner occasionally.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1775 Gram (Admin) Musky took my beer! Admin Posts: 2556 Re:Good Jetting Questions&Discussion 3 Years, 10 Months ago   The factory ignition timing is (as you said) preset Mike, and cannot be adjusted. The only way to adjust it is to get one of the Dyna aftermarket ignition modules. Then it can be adjusted in steps. GRAM   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
