Need help/advice....FAST!

[BoomerCPO]

Last week I installed Baron's 4-2-4 slip-ons on my 2006 Midnight Venture. Also put in new plugs; plugged the AIS lines and the inlet to the AIS pump; re-synched the carbs;and put in new air filters and a new fuel filter.

 

The bike is now popping/backfiring during throttle up/throttle down and even when holding the throttle steady at 60 mph.

 

Have I missed something? Can anyone help/advise with this annoying situation?

Double check your carb sync and double check the ais plugs.

We just re-plugged the AIS lines good and tight. Carb synch check is coming up next.

 

I'll report back as soon as that's done.

 

In the meantime.....If anyone can offer further advice I would appreciate it.

Boomer,

Make sure that all your vaccume lines are in good shape on the intake manifolds. I had the same thing and it turned out to be the vaccume line that went down to the ais that I forgot to plug when I removed the AIS. Seeing your AIS is plugged now I would just install the little nipples on all the ports on the intake manifolds.

Update.........AIS lines plugged tight.

 

Carb re-synch.....One of the carbs has NO vacuum! Now what?

[BoomerCPO]

Final update.........

 

AIS re-plugged TIGHT......

 

Carb re-synch RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

 

Problem discovered: Fouled plug!! Figured out WHY this happened too.....LETTING THE BIKE SIT TOO LONG WHILE WARMING IT UP!!

 

Lesson learned: Hit the road within minutes of firing her up.

 

Note.....My sincere thanks to those who responded to my plea for help! I now have a completely different feel for this Forum and those who hang here.

 

Warmest regards to all.........Boomer:bighug:

On my RSV if I am working it like lots during the

winter months as I can not ride it for 4 months.

 

I always get fouled plugs from lots of idling , warming

the bike up , just after a while one or two plugs

will foul.. on my bike that is...

glad you got it figured out.
