Another timing question

VT HARLEY DAVIDSON SHOVELHEAD PANHEAD FISHTAIL MUFFLERS 3 1/4" FLH FL | eBay

I like the fishtails...

I likeee old school fish tails

LOL...yep Kerker slip ons,fistail end caps and Mikuni PAT baffle...look good sound good work good....got 'em on the cop bike and the softail

bought them...used luci's fishtails. cannot wait to see them on her. this better tune well...

if it feels peppy with the slow jet you have in the e now . put a set of fresh plugs in it run it at low rpms . for a little while if the first few threds just start to show color .and the ground strap on the plug mid way just starts to color the engine cylinder temp should be about dead nuts . if the white portion of the center of the plug shows color with todays fuel your fat . it should kinda look like egg shell with todays fuel if you pay close attention to the ground strap . about mid way comming towards the threds you will want a strip to show up right across the strap thats were you want to see the timing mark. hope this helps ya tune !

I think you'll like themHad a set same as them on the '76....sounded nice,3 1/2" muffler body is a good size.... that shovel sure could haul azz

Spark plug reading

nice link lucifer, i will use this as a reference.

i run 93 octane with no ethanol, its just around the corner...$4/gal as of today.

paul, i have fresh plugs ready. am going to leave timing set as it is, and do what you said...post pics then. thanks.

cool excelent just starting to turn color should be a little on the rich side. Ring around the porcelin and you should be good to go don't forget to shut down the pump when checking jetting we don't want to get a false read on the plugs nice to be able to shut the pump off on the super e to check jetting

i am going to have to read the manual on pump shunting...unless you want to front that info. i understand, but hepp a brudder out.

screw all the way to the right and up top is your accelerator pump adjust ment . turn the screw clock wise till it seats GENTLEY that will shut the squirter off . and then the motor is just running on the slow and main jet alone! it might tip in and have a slight flat spot but we dont care about that . gently roll on the throttle and ride normal . then check the plugs if they look just slightly off white your good . start by turning the accelerator pump adjustment screw out a quarter turn at a time while bliping the throttle open and adjust it till it does not nose over while bliping the throttle . wont be more than one and a half turns if you go 2 . your fine.

sweet...can do !!

got my headers and fishtails today. woohoo. they are so very tight in the heads though. having trouble getting the rear to seat all the way. is it ok to use a dremel and remove some chrome ? also not sure how the left rear footpeg is gonna clear, may have to relocate or extend. but dang....they look good.

:worthless:

yep its ok they should be just a tad tight some guys just use emery cloth on the pipe ends to knock the chrome down some .

:worthless:I agree

well, i gotta 'em in the holes first...

filed the end edges, and sanded...they goes in. i found the following
issues though...

1....they require mounting brakets...$30 ea....ok
2....the 3 1/4" pipe hits my rear crash bar...solutions ???
3....i have to adapt right floorboard.

i think i am going to make this my winter project, cause i wanna ride quick.
will slap baff's in the drags for now.

anyway...here are a few pics....





i do like the look...just wanna do it right, without rubbing holes in them.

give me some tips please.
