F.I. was introduced as a way to comply with the EPA, not because riders couldn't leave smoothly.

Twin Cam / Re: Cam gear undersize
Last post by Ohio HD - Today at 02:28:45 PM
Follow the S&S instructions for measuring backlash at the gears. And chose the appropriate gear from the measurements. That being said, it's gear drive so there will be some noise, but shouldn't be excessive.

Measure front and rear gears.

Twin Cam / Cam gear undersize
Last post by hogrdr - Today at 02:08:30 PM
I recently had my 2001 heritage Softail engine completely rebuilt. Dark horse Man of war 124 crank, T-Man 124 piston and cylinder kit, T-Man gear 662-2 cam. I had this engine built before and I didn't like the build so I have somebody else build it and he did a excellent job. Before I had the engine rebuilt I put on about 100 mi and the cam gears were quiet. After the rebuild same cam plate (s&s T-3), same cam and same pinion gear. Pinion gear whines now. Tried one undersize still whines. Went to the double undersize and I still have a whine. but not as loud. What causes that drastic change? Or what can I look for. Thanks.

Glad to join the party.  Had a little hiccup getting past the bouncer, but after a quick chat and a retry, here I am.  I hope to be able to contribute as much as I ask.  Been riding 42 years.  Got my first HD at 21, an '87 FLHTC, and I still ride it.  I also have a '64 FL Chop (a real survivor), a '65 FLH in standard trim, and a project '65 on the bench right now that will be running a Badboy springer when done.  

Cya in the wind!

  If you have your shovelhead set up right and know it there no reason why it should cough. Today have the people cannot even take off smooth with anything that has a carburetor. That one reason they had to go to FI. This way people have one less thing to think about.
