#501591 txulrich (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 710 Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Went and spent most of today with Curt and got a schooling on Roadie Carbs. Learned a whole lot and the Roadie is pulling real strong. I've got to tweak the PMS a little to get rid of the popping on decel. Curt, you are a very giving and special human being. Thank you very your time this day. More importantly, thank Cheryl for allowing me to take up your day and for lunch. If I were you, I would keep her.   Logged     Peace, Joe   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501594 BigShow01 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 61 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Sounds like curt is the man on carbs. I really need to get a hold of him, and see what he can do for mine.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #501596 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14679 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Joe I got to keep her she is the only woman that will put up with me and my mess. I was thinking after you left your bike pulls so strong that you may have a Dyna 3000 or a Speedstar ignition module in it. Have you ever looked to see? Also check your pipes where the mufflers attach to the head pipes and also where the pipes bolt to the heads for leaks. That may very well be where your popping is coming from. Use an incense stick to check them with and watch the tip to see if it glows red from a leak. Let me know how it goes and if the popping goes away when you adjust the PMS.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501618 greyphart (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 5802 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Amazing the goofy things we use (incense sicks) to help tune up our rides. Will this go in the tech tips section?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #501625 txulrich (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 710 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Curt wrote: Joe I got to keep her she is the only woman that will put up with me and my mess.

I turned it 1/4 already and am still getting some popping. I will turn it another tomorrow. When we had the tank off, I didn't see anything that looked aftermarket. Likewise for around the fuse box. I've never had a need for incense before. Not been my thing. I'll let you know.   Logged     Peace, Joe   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501733 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1449 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months, 2 Weeks ago   '>   Logged     [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501759 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

I will see about getting a stick and give it a test.   Logged     Peace, Joe   The administrator has disabled public write access. #508217 txulrich (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 710 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months ago   Curt wrote: Joe I got to keep her she is the only woman that will put up with me and my mess.

Well, I finally got ahold of some incense sticks. I am here to tell you that this trick really works. I have the Cobra Slash Cut Slip-ons. They are both leaking at the header pipe joint. Laying down and looking underneath, I can see the exhaust dust where the leaks are. I tightened both pipes as much as I dare (don't want to break the bolts). The popping is reduced, but not eliminated. When I came back in, I was able to tighten the bolts another 1/4 turn while they were hot. I'll check them tomorrow with the incense. It's almost 10PM and getting to late to be neighborly. Assuming this doesn't totally eliminate the popping, any other suggestions?   Logged     Peace, Joe   The administrator has disabled public write access. #508251 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14679 Re:Went to See the Wizard 11 Months ago   There are some compounds that some of the guy here have used. I am not sure what it is called but they say it works. Maybe some will read this and pipe in and tell you what to use. Glad you found the leak.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access.
