General / Re: E85 for High Performance U...
Last post by JW113 - Today at 11:34:04 AMI don't see an issue with moisture. A good bud has an E85 Chevy Silverado, and all he runs in it is E85. For years, and does nothing special regarding moisture. Moisture gets into the tank regardless of gasoline or E85. The difference is water is not soluble in gasoline, but is soluble in alcohol. So instead of forming a little pool in the bottom of the tank, it mixes into the fuel and just gets flushed/burned through the system. In fact when I was young punk back in Iowa, gas line freezing in winter was a common problem. The cure? This stuff called HEET, which was nothing more than alcohol that would melt ice and blend with the water to flush it through.
Will be interesting to hear about your results should you decide to proceed with this.
cheers,

Milwaukee-Eight / Re: intake seals
Last post by sbeamer - Today at 05:55:28 AMQuote from: kd on April 24, 2024, 09:14:14 PMMaybe your chasing the wrong gremlin. Because the issue has worsened and increased it's frequency with the number of start cycles it would make me consider the compensator. You call it a backfire but that's a subjective description. Is it sending fire and smoke into the breather? As the pre 2014 twincam compensator aged and got weak, the first crank (or more) would kick off like a little explosion and spin the engine back (often resulting in a grind / bang / stall like reaction and a subsequent intake or exhaust loud firing back and puff of smoke).
Have you checked the compensator health? You still haven't given a full description of the model, year etc. of the bike. IIRC the earlier M8 compensator was problematic.
I also recall some posters saying something similar to your basic description was happening and if they tapped the start button and clicked the bendix in once then on the second tap held the button in it would start normally.
(not being snotty or defensive) The compensator wouldn't have anything to do with the "pop" I get when starting. Literally, the very INSTANT you touch the start button, it happens. Like a millisecond before the motor starts to turn over. I can put my hand in by the top of the intake and feel it pop.
It's not a "kick-back" likr a bad comp would do. I had that issue with my twin Cam bikes.
Even though I didn't find anything electrical,(yet), I'm very much thinking KD and Hossamania might have something there.
I did contact Powervision to see if they had any suggestions. I did get a response. Waiting for additional info from them.

Last post by hrdtail78 - Today at 05:50:49 AMI would also talk with Sheffer. Always good to get opinions of people that have used it successfully.
Of the top 10 fastest power adder baggers in the country. Right now I have 3 on this list that have all been set up for e90 with C&S blueprinted and installed MaxxECU. One is the 2022 and 2023 probagger champion. (Bert Baker bought this bike at end of season) Of the 2 I have on the NA list. One has been set up for e90 with C&S blueprinted and installed MaxxECU. The other is running something else with TTS.
Standing right now. I have 3 bikes in the top 5 of Pro Bagger. First, third and fifth. All running e90.
How do all these bikes handle this special fuel in between races and over the winter? what special precautions are taken?

Milwaukee-Eight / Re: intake seals
Last post by sbeamer - Today at 05:41:07 AMQuote from: guydoc77 on April 24, 2024, 07:59:44 PMAssuming you are 100% certain you have a recurrent intake leak:
Have the heads been off ever? Or milled? Are the surfaces where the seals hit still flat and true?
What air cleaner you running? The fitting of the backing plate can "pull" an intake and the manifold away enough to blow the seal(s).
I wouldn't say it has a recurring intake leak because it runs perfectly at any RPM. The heads were never removed. No leaks or blow-by. Everything is flat,true, and in alignment.
I have the SE ventilator air cleaner. But this started when the stock one was still on. But,... I will look closer at that area and see if there is something with that. thanks

Last post by Hossamania - Today at 05:15:03 AMQuote from: Dan89flstc on Yesterday at 06:36:52 PMAre you sure the starter is bad?
Not a common occurrence.
It's definitely worth confirming before replacement. Mine is 23 years old, 130,000 miles, still original.
What makes you think it needs replacement?
