I was told that anti-sieze is not a lubricant. It has a specific purpose, and lubricating moving parts is not it.
I can't answer to your query of using lubricant or not on that bushing.

cut 50 thou of the nut while you have the comp apart

On the starter jackshaft housing on the primary the part with the brass bushing , what lube would you use on the bushing if any ,  grease or Anti seize,   

Well I guess I'll give it a try and see what happens. Matched up the stock and S&S manifolds and they don't look so far off that it would not have a good seal using the Bendix carb.

Ok I'll mention it to my tuner

I decided to check the primary chain tension and was able to turn the sprocket a small bit. Rocking forward and back. It wasn't loose, but with a little pressure it definitely turned. The spring cup was tight

I pulled the primary cover and noticed that the turning I was getting was the comp. sprocket ramps contacting fore and aft.

I'm thinking the compensator nut may be bottoming out or bound up on something and not getting full pressure. I'm going to give it a thorough cleaning try re-installing with proper torque and measure the stack depth. (unfortunately, I didn't measure the stack prior to removal)


Here's the view from the rear prior to removing the nut.

A bone stock EFI 883 makes 47ish horsepower, where a bone stock carb'ed 883 is doing good if it breaks 40hp. This 7ish horsepower advantage to the EFI version remains about the same whether you're comparing stock-to-stock or converted-to-converted. It comes from both the cams difference (W's in the EFI bikes, D's in the carb'ed bikes) and the EFI itself (the 45mm throttle plate and the ability to tune both cylinders individually).

HD parts book shows the 27708-06B TB is used on all 07-17 dynas & softails. The -10A part number should be a direct bolt on, but you will have to recalibrate the VE tables due to the larger butterfly ( more air per ° of plate movement)

removing a stock induction module off a 07 softail 96ci .Part number 27708-06 all stock.
i have a induction module on shelf from a 2010 dyna 27708-10a bored out from 46mm to 50mm local machine shop did it a while back can i use it ? The only difference i can see on unit is it has 2 vacuum ports instead of 1 off the softail .all the plugs are the same . never really noticed 2 ports before .is this  common its been a while.

Only mod I know is to remove, or relocate cross member of bottom frame or modify or buy a new oil pan.
