Cam tensioner questions

Those SE Selectable ignitions are really nice. Right now I have mine set on the lowest level that is recommended for my engine set up.. I am looking to switch that one step up for a 500 rpm increase in the ramp..

Because you never put a good tuner on it.
You never seen how easy and dependable it is to do it with EFI.
You know nothing about EFI how to work on it or how to tune it.
It takes time and money or somebody that does to work with it.
Is yer car or truck still carb ?
See many folks still driving a vehicle with a carb ?
A carb is a antique.
Think back and see how many years its been since they put a carb on a car.
The EFI systems cranks better all the time and gives less trouble if taken care of.
Look at how much farther our new cars and trucks runs nowdays with less maintenance

I work on Carbed Boats and fuel injected everyday. CAn't tell you how much difference there is between smooth running and crankin and the maintenance on the two.
Carbs gives a lot more problems crankin with Ethanol than fuel injected too.
When the octane raiting on the new gas drops the carbs are even harder starting than the turn key fuel injection on 2 strokes.
The 4 strokes are even a lot more higher maintenance on them believe it or not. And when something breaks on the 4 strokes its 5 times as high to repair. And yes they was still puttin carbs on 4 strokes as of last year. The jets gets stopped up so easily. And gives many, many problems.
Think the goverment make it so they couldn't do any carbs on the 4 strokes as of last year.
Ya know my grandmother told me when I was a Kid. The world forever changes, learn to change with it or git left behind.
And it only cost a little more to go 1st class.

I listened to everything she said. Weather I practise it or not.


Can remember when I had my Pan guys was takin the distributor out and puttin a Joe Hunt magneto in place of it to make the bike crank easier. They was new technology too.
To me its for people who hasn't learned the present and how to come to it
If you have a bike that came from the factory that was carbed that is different.
But I can remember years ago. we was takin carbs off and puttin systems on cars with computers to control them.
Why don't you take the old style Disc brakes off and go back to Drum brakes.

I didn't just start doing this stuff. Started riding in 1964,
Sure you can do a lot of things to a Harley, but when you do them are you doing it RIGHT.
Only time I migh think about takin a EFI off a bike and going to a carb is if'n I was gonna Race it.

Got a lot of friends that are MMI and other graduates and watched them build Old and new bikes and seen what they know.
Got a buddy that works 45 miles up the lake that used to build Race Bikes.
The new 4 piston Brembo brakes and EFI and the new frams rocks.

Nothing wrong with a PCIII just not the most expensive one out there...$1000. for a tuner just to go Stage 1 is insane

Dig deep in yer pockets to get yer Stage 1 running right...dig deep again if you add a cam later or want to change pipes

Truck and cars are EFI... bone stock,

4 passed me yesterday with their old cars purring like kittens,my fuel pump chit the bed on the Chev

So were the cars

Been a while since carbs were production on cars,not that long since they were on bikes...Malibu fuel pump and Chrysler 300 both wouldn't start but cranked over fine....1 was the fuel pump the other a crank sensor 40,000 miles and 70,000 miles on them

Ethanol sucks!!! Now yer getting into outboard motors, both run fine tuned right

2 strokes less maintenance than 4 strokes...hmmm I doubt that

Yes it does, but not always for the better

It costs a lot more to go 1st class,back to that deep pocket thing again

I guess...or not:roflmao:

some new tech is good

How so??

was it really better or just new ??

Carbs are better than EFI for racing... :roflmao:

Everyone is entitled to their opinion

Only the 08 and newer bikes with TBW are 900.00
But you guys make them what price you want

The other thunder-max are around 650.00
Check eastern performance

Don't compare a tuner without auto tune to the price of a tuner with auto tune
You guys kill me
You guys want to ride a Harley but don't want to pay for doing changes to it

It's all in who did the dyno tune
Hard to find a good dyno man
And who tuned the download
Bet yer dealership has gone threw Some dyno men and mechanics
